Publication Process

The Journal of Economic, Finance Research and Review (JEFRR) is dedicated to delivering a transparent, efficient, and high-quality publication experience. Our publication process follows international best practices while prioritizing timely dissemination of significant economic and finance research.

Step 1: Manuscript Submission

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts through JEFRR’s online submission platform. Manuscripts should be carefully prepared according to the journal’s author guidelines, including formatting, ethical declarations, and scope relevance. Authors receive an immediate acknowledgment and a unique submission ID to track the progress.

Step 2: Initial Editorial Screening

Upon submission, the editorial office performs a rapid yet thorough preliminary review to assess:

• Alignment with the journal’s aims and scope

• Adherence to submission and formatting requirements

• Originality and ethical compliance, verified through plagiarism detection tools

Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria are returned with constructive feedback or declined early to save authors’ time.

Step 3: Rigorous Peer Review

JEFRR employs a double-blind peer review system to ensure impartial, unbiased evaluation by at least two expert reviewers specializing in economics and finance.

• The review process is optimized to be completed within 7 calendar days, reflecting our commitment to rapid decision-making.

• Reviewers assess the manuscript’s originality, methodological rigor, scholarly contribution, clarity of presentation, and ethical standards.

• Based on reviewer recommendations, the editorial board decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript.

Step 4: Author Revisions (If Required)

• If revisions are requested, authors are provided with detailed reviewer comments and given a clear timeline for submitting their revised manuscript.

• Authors must respond point-by-point to reviewers’ feedback, ensuring all concerns are addressed.

• Revised manuscripts may undergo an additional round of review if necessary, though efforts are made to minimize delays.

Step 5: Final Acceptance and Production

Once the editorial board is satisfied that the manuscript meets quality standards and reviewer concerns have been resolved, the article is formally accepted.

• The manuscript then enters the production phase where professional copyediting and formatting take place to ensure consistency, clarity, and compliance with JEFRR’s style.

• Authors receive page proofs for final validation and correction of any minor errors.

Step 6: Online Publication

• For submissions requiring no revision, or after revisions are approved, JEFRR commits to an expedited online publication process—publishing the article within 7 days post-acceptance.

• Articles are published as fully open access, indexed in major databases, and made globally accessible immediately upon release.

• Authors receive official publication confirmation with full citation details.
