Peer Review Process

The Journal of Sustainable Finance and Business Innovation (JSFBI) operates a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, validity, and originality of published research.

All submitted manuscripts are initially screened by the editorial office to assess their relevance to the journal’s aims and scope, compliance with submission guidelines, and overall academic quality. Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are then assigned to at least two independent reviewers with appropriate expertise in the subject area.

The identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed throughout the review process to ensure impartiality and objectivity. Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on criteria including originality, methodological rigor, theoretical contribution, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the journal’s scope.

Based on the reviewers’ reports, the Editor-in-Chief makes one of the following editorial decisions: acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. Revised submissions may be subject to further review where necessary.

The journal aims to conduct the peer review process in a reasonable timeframe while maintaining high academic standards. Editorial decisions are made independently and are not influenced by any financial considerations or publication fees.

The peer review process is managed through the journal’s online submission system to ensure transparency, confidentiality, and traceability.
