Peer Review Policy for Integrated Business and Financial Studies

Integrated Business and Financial Studies (IBFS) is a field of study that examines the interconnectedness of business and financial markets. It is a relatively new field, but it is rapidly gaining importance as the global economy becomes more and more integrated.

Peer review is an essential part of the scientific process. It helps to ensure that the research published in IBFS is of the highest quality. Peer review is a process by which experts in a field review the work of other experts and provide feedback. This feedback is used to improve the quality of the work before it is published.

The peer review policy for IBFS is as follows:

  • All manuscripts submitted to IBFS must be peer-reviewed.
  • Peer reviewers are selected by the editor-in-chief based on their expertise in the field.
  • Peer reviewers are given the opportunity to review the manuscript and provide feedback to the authors.
  • The authors are given the opportunity to respond to the feedback from the peer reviewers.
  • The editor-in-chief will make a final decision on the publication of the manuscript based on the feedback from the peer reviewers and the authors' response.

The peer review process is designed to ensure that the research published in IBFS is of the highest quality and that it makes a significant contribution to the field.

Here are some specific guidelines for peer reviewers of IBFS manuscripts:

  • Be objective and unbiased. The goal of peer review is to improve the quality of the manuscript, not to criticize the authors or their work.
  • Be thorough and critical. Review the manuscript carefully and provide feedback on all aspects of the work, including the research question, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusions.
  • Be constructive and respectful. The goal of your feedback is to help the authors improve their work. Be specific and provide suggestions for how the manuscript can be improved.

If you are invited to peer review an IBFS manuscript, please take the time to do a thorough and thoughtful job. Your feedback will help to ensure that the research published in IBFS is of the highest quality.
