Bakhtar International Journal of Economics and Management Review

At Bakhtar University, journals we pride ourselves on upholding a rigorous evaluation process to ensure the excellence of our published work. Every submission is meticulously reviewed in accordance with the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers and Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association peer review standards. Your work is in good hands with us.

• In order to ensure the highest quality, authors are requested to format their manuscript according to the journal's template before submission.
• Once accepted for publication, it is important for authors to refrain from submitting the same manuscript to other journals or to withdraw their submissions from those journals. Manuscripts that fall outside the expected scope will not be considered for review.
• Each manuscript will undergo thorough review by two professionals recommended by the editorial board. Additional reviews may be conducted if deemed necessary, and authors will be promptly apprised of the review process when applicable.
• The journal upholds the authority to decline a manuscript that does not align with the fundamental standards of the journal's policy. The Editors-in-Chief will carefully consider the reviewers' report and will promptly notify the authors if their manuscript does not meet the criteria for publication.
• Upon submission, rest assured that your manuscript will be handled with the utmost confidentiality. We guarantee that no discussions about your manuscript will be shared with anyone without your explicit authorization or the consent of the publication agency.
• The editors employ a double-blind review process, ensuring that both the author and the referee remain anonymous.
• We are committed to ensuring that any confidential information or ideas discovered through the peer review of submitted manuscripts will be protected from unauthorized use. It is our firm policy that such information will not be exploited for any competitive advantage or gain.
• Please note that the editorial team and reviewers have the authority to request any supplementary materials, including data sheets, informed consent forms, research authorization letters, and relevant ethical documentation, at any stage of the process. Your cooperation in providing these materials promptly is greatly appreciated. Your adherence to these standards will help ensure the thoroughness and integrity of the review process.
• The identities of peer reviewers and the confidentiality of their work must be maintained.

We ensure that all manuscripts undergo thorough peer reviews before being published in our journals. Please find the submission process outlined below for your convenience.

The editorial board reviews all submitted manuscripts for publication. The work must have less than 10% plagiarism and few grammatical errors. A double-blind peer review process is used to keep the author and referee anonymous throughout.

Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two external referees, with the option for more if needed. Referees assess originality, methodology, contribution, presentation of results, and citation of prior research. Manuscripts may be accepted, rejected, or returned for revisions.
Upon receiving a revision request from the referee or referees, the author(s) must carefully consider and incorporate their recommendations and submit the revised manuscript within one month. Manuscripts returned after this period will be treated as new submissions, restarting the peer review process, and referees can request multiple revisions.
When it comes to manuscript decisions, there are numerous options to consider.
1. Accepted
2. Accepted after minor revision
3. Accepted after major revision
4. Rejected with comments
5. Desk Rejection
If only minor changes are necessary, authors are encouraged to submit the updated version expeditiously, ideally within one week.

The editorial board delivers the final review after receiving positive feedback from the referees. Once approved for publication, the editors conscientiously organize within the issue sequence.

The journal will complete the entire peer review process within 6 to 8 weeks, with the understanding that this timeline may be adjusted based on the necessary editing required for the manuscript to meet our standards.

The manuscript will be published in the next available issue after meeting all copyright and other requirements.
