Peer Review Process

Editorial Policy

The Journal of Islamic Economics and Business (JIEB) applies an editorial assessment and double-blind peer-review process to maintain the quality, originality, and scholarly relevance of published manuscripts.

STEP 01

Initial Editorial Assessment

All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Islamic Economics and Business (JIEB) undergo an initial editorial assessment to evaluate their relevance to the journal’s scope, scholarly quality, originality, and compliance with submission requirements. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s editorial standards may be declined at this stage without external review.

STEP 02

Double-Blind Peer Review

Manuscripts considered suitable for further evaluation are subjected to a double-blind peer review, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential. Independent reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on its theoretical and empirical contribution, methodological rigor, originality, clarity of analysis, and overall scholarly quality.

STEP 03

Editorial Decision and Revision

Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editorial team may reach one of the following decisions:

Acceptance

Revision Required

Authors are expected to address the reviewers’ comments carefully and submit a revised manuscript for further evaluation when necessary.

Rejection

The manuscript is not accepted for publication.

STEP 04

Final Publication Decision

The final decision on publication rests with the editorial team, taking into consideration the reviewers’ recommendations, the quality of the revised manuscript, and its contribution to the scholarly focus of JIEB.
