Peer Review Process

Every manuscript submitted to the Journal of Economic Policy and Financial Systems is assessed by the editorial staff. Those manuscripts evaluated by editors as inappropriate for the journal's criteria are rejected promptly without external review. Manuscripts evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to double blind reviewers. Every manuscript is independently reviewed by at least two reviewers in the form of a "double-blind review". The editors then decide on publication based on the reviewer's recommendation from among several options: Accept, Accept with revisions, Submit for review, Submit elsewhere, or Decline.

In certain cases, the editor may submit an article to a third reviewer for review before making a decision, if necessary.

The Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Economic Policy and Financial Systems has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

Review Process:

1. The author submits the manuscript
2. Editor Evaluation (some manuscripts are rejected or returned before the review process)
3. Double-blind peer review process
4. Editor decision
5. Confirmation to the authors
