Manuscripts submitted to the Scholics Journal of Management and Commerce undergo a peer review process.
Initial Checks
- Experienced editors review all submissions to ensure proper preparation, adherence to the journal’s ethical policies, and inclusion of required disclosures.
- References are verified for accuracy; incomplete, unsuitable, or unclear ones may result in desk rejection.
- Articles are evaluated for English language quality, with authors potentially asked to use a native or professional editor for improvements.
- Plagiarism screening is conducted on every submission.
- Improperly prepared manuscripts are sent back to authors for corrections and resubmission.
- Submissions lacking originality, containing major scientific or technical errors, without a key contribution, or not following journal guidelines face rejection without peer review.
Peer Review
Manuscripts passing initial checks enter a double-blind peer review by at least two anonymous experts in the relevant field.
Editorial Decision and Revision
- Decisions incorporate all reviewer feedback, with the Editor-in-Chief making the final call, possibly after consulting additional specialists.
- Authors must address every reviewer and editor comment point-by-point in their response letter, clearly explaining any disagreements.
