Peer Review Process
Peer Review Process
The Sinergi International Journal of Economics implements a comprehensive evaluation process for all manuscript submissions, ensuring high standards of academic merit and innovation in economic research. Our review system employs a double-blind methodology, preserving anonymity between authors and reviewers throughout the assessment.
Our editorial team comprises economics experts from diverse global backgrounds, offering a wide range of perspectives and insights. This international composition enhances the depth and breadth of manuscript evaluations, leading to well-rounded editorial decisions in economic scholarship.
The review process consists of the following stages:
- Initial Manuscript Screening: The Editor-in-Chief will screen a submitted manuscript to ensure its conformity to the Sinergi International Journal of Economics scope and basic submission requirements. The Editor-in-chief will assign an editor based on the articles’ scientific field.
- In-Depth Peer Evaluation: Manuscripts passing the initial screening are assigned to a handling editor. This editor then:
- Selects at least two experts in the relevant area of economics
- Facilitates a double-blind peer review process
- Ensures a thorough and unbiased assessment of the economic research
- Decision Based on Collective Expert Input: The journal requires a minimum of two expert reviews before proceeding with any decision. In cases of significant discrepancies between reviews, the handling editor may:
- Engage a third reviewer for additional insights
- Seek further clarification from existing reviewers
At this stage, several outcomes are possible:
- Rejection of the manuscript
- Request for minor revisions
- Request for major revisions
- Acceptance without changes
- Recommendation for resubmission (if substantial content or language modifications are necessary)
Accepted manuscripts are returned to authors for formatting refinements. The Editor-in-Chief makes the final acceptance decision, considering:
- Recommendations from the handling editor
- Approval from the editorial board
- Overall contribution to economic knowledge
- Internal Revision and Reassessment: Authors of manuscripts requiring revisions are given a three-week window to modify and reformat their work. The handling editor then:
- Reassesses the revised manuscript
- Determines if changes adequately address reviewers' comments and suggestions
- May initiate additional revision cycles if necessary
- Final Publication Decision: In this concluding stage, the revised manuscript faces a binary outcome: acceptance or rejection. The decision hinges on:
- The handling editor's assessment of improvements made
- Alignment with the Sinergi International Journal of Economics' quality benchmarks
- Potential impact on economic theory, policy, or practice
Manuscripts failing to incorporate necessary changes or falling short of the journal's rigorous standards will be rejected.
This multi-tiered review process ensures that the Sinergi International Journal of Economics publishes only high-quality, original research, maintaining its position as a respected source in the field of economics. By combining expert knowledge, diverse perspectives, and rigorous evaluation, we strive to advance economic understanding on a global scale.
Our commitment to publishing excellence extends beyond the review process. We continuously refine our procedures to stay at the forefront of academic publishing in economics, ensuring that our journal remains a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the dynamic field of economic science.
