1. Initial evaluation
Review of Integrative Business and Economics Research (RIBER) has an active desk rejection policy to create an efficient editorial process for authors and reduce the burden on reviewers. Each manuscript submitted to RIBER will be first evaluated by the Editor or a member of the Editorial Board, who may desk reject the manuscript without sending it out for peer review.
2. Peer review
After the initial evaluation by the Editor/Editorial Board, the manuscript will be sent to at least one reviewer appointed by the Editor/Editorial Board. RIBER employs double-blind reviewing – both the reviewer(s) and the author(s) remain anonymous throughout the process. The reviewer(s) will evaluate the manuscript’s originality, methodology, contribution to the literature, presentation of results, and appropriate referencing of relevant past studies.
3. Manuscript revision
If the reviewer(s) recommend revision, the Editor/Editorial Board may invite the author(s) to revise and resubmit the manuscript based on the comments and suggestions from the reviewer(s). The revised manuscript will be re-reviewed by the same reviewer(s).
4. Final decision
The Editor/Editorial Board will make the final acceptance/rejection decision based on the final reviewer report(s). Upon the acceptance of the manuscript, the author(s) will be requested to sign a Journal Publishing Agreement.
5. Publication Ethics
RIBER follows the highest standard of publication ethics and takes all possible procedures against any publication misconduct. Upon submission of their manuscripts, authors are required to indicate in their cover letter that they agree with the publication ethics. GMP Press, the publisher and distributor of RIBER, is fully accountable for the performance and compliance with the policies and guidelines on publication ethics.
