Review Policy

The International Academic Journal of Economics (IAJE) is committed to a rigorous, fair, and transparent peer-review process that upholds the highest standards of academic quality and integrity. This policy ensures that all submitted manuscripts are evaluated objectively, confidentially, and promptly by experts in the relevant field.

Peer Review Process:
All manuscripts submitted to IAJE undergo a double-blind peer review, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. This process minimizes bias and ensures impartial assessment based solely on scholarly merit, originality, and relevance to the field of economics.

Reviewer Selection:
Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, experience, and absence of conflicts of interest. The journal strives to include reviewers from diverse geographical and academic backgrounds to enrich the evaluation process.

Timeliness:
IAJE aims to provide initial review decisions within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 4-6 weeks from submission. Reviewers are expected to complete their assessments promptly to facilitate timely publication.

Review Criteria:
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts on originality, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, contribution to the field, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal’s scope. Constructive feedback is provided to help authors improve the quality of their work.

Confidentiality:
All information related to the manuscript, including the identities of authors and reviewers, is treated with strict confidentiality. Reviewers must not share or use the content of the manuscripts for any purpose other than the evaluation process.

Conflict of Interest:
Reviewers are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and decline to review manuscripts where such conflicts may compromise impartiality.

Appeals and Complaints:
Authors may appeal editorial decisions or raise concerns about the review process by contacting the editorial office. All appeals are handled with fairness and transparency.

By adhering to these principles, IAJE ensures that the peer-review process contributes to the publication of high-quality, ethical, and impactful economic research.
