Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Management and Labour are initially subject to an editorial screening. Submissions that are deemed to be within the scope and standards of the journal are then sent for double-blind peer review.

Under the double-blind review system, reviewers are not aware of the identity of the author(s), and authors are not informed about the identity of the reviewers. Reviewers are also not informed about the identities of other reviewers evaluating the same manuscript.

The peer review process typically takes between 1 and 5 months, depending on the volume of submissions. Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers.

Based on the reviewers’ reports, the editor makes the final decision regarding acceptance, rejection, or revision of the manuscript. Submissions requiring major revisions may be subject to a second round of peer review following resubmission.

Accepted manuscripts are further reviewed for compliance with ethical requirements, including ethics committee approval where applicable. Manuscripts that meet all requirements are scheduled for publication in the appropriate issue.

The Journal of Management and Labour does not charge any submission, evaluation, or publication fees.
