Peer Review Process

Peer Review Policy

The rigor of peer review ensures the academic quality and integrity of every article published in the Journal of Islamic Economics and Business Perspectives (JIEBP). All submitted manuscripts undergo a structured double-blind peer review before publication.

Double-Blind Peer Review

JIEBP employs a double-blind system in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from each other. All identifying information is removed from the manuscript prior to review. This process minimizes potential bias and fosters objective evaluation.

The Peer Review Process

JIEBP follows a three-stage review process:

Stage 1: Editorial Office Review

Key checks performed within one week of submission:

  • • Plagiarism Screening: Using Turnitin; significant similarity may lead to immediate rejection.
  • • AI-Generated Content: Evaluation for undisclosed AI text to ensure originality.
  • • Scope Compliance: Alignment with Islamic economics, finance, and business topics.
  • • Language & References: Checking for clarity and recent citations (last 5 years).

Stage 2: External Review (Double-Blind)

Manuscripts are assigned to at least two expert reviewers. Reviewers assess originality and methodology, then recommend:

  • Requires minor corrections
  • Requires moderate/major revision
  • Declined for publication

Timeline: Generally 1–4 weeks.

Stage 3: Editorial Decision

The Editor-in-Chief makes the final call (Accept, Revise, or Decline). The entire process typically concludes within 4–6 weeks.

Confidentiality

All manuscripts and reports are strictly confidential. Content must not be used for personal advantage.

Ethical Standards

JIEBP adheres to COPE Guidelines for Peer Reviewers, maintaining integrity and objectivity.

Right to Appeal & Recognition

Authors may appeal decisions with clear evidence, which will be reviewed by the editorial team. Furthermore, JIEBP values our reviewers; contributions are acknowledged through certificates or platforms like Publons.
