Peer Review Workflow

Journal of Dissemination of Inclusive Economics and Finance (JDIEF) applies a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of published articles. The workflow is structured as follows:

1. Initial Screening

  • All submitted manuscripts are first reviewed by the editorial office to ensure compliance with the journal’s scope, formatting requirements, and ethical standards.
  • Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be returned to authors for revision or rejected without external review.

2. Assignment to Section Editor

  • Eligible manuscripts are assigned to a Section Editor who oversees the review process.
  • The Section Editor selects qualified reviewers based on expertise and relevance to the manuscript’s subject area.

3. Double-Blind Peer Review

  • JDIEF employs a double-blind peer review system, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other.
  • Each manuscript is typically reviewed by at least two independent experts.
  • Reviewers evaluate originality, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, and contribution to inclusive economics and finance.

4. Review Reports and Decision

  • Based on reviewers’ recommendations, the Section Editor makes a preliminary decision: accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject.
  • Authors receive detailed feedback and are invited to revise their manuscripts accordingly.

5. Revision and Resubmission

  • Authors submit revised manuscripts addressing reviewers’ comments.
  • The revised version may be sent back to reviewers for further evaluation, depending on the extent of changes.

6. Final Decision

  • The Editor-in-Chief or Section Editor makes the final decision after considering reviewers’ reports and the quality of revisions.
  • Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting and production.

7. Publication

  • After final proofreading and layout, the article is published online in JDIEF.
  • Published articles are assigned DOIs and archived for long-term accessibility.
