The peer review process at Journal of Accounting and Management ( JAM ) is designed to ensure the scientific quality of the articles published and to maintain the integrity and credibility of the journal. The following outlines the peer review process:

1. Article Submission:

   • Authors submit their articles through the JAM online submission system.

   • The editor conducts an initial check to ensure the article’s alignment with the journal’s focus and scope and compliance with the submission guidelines.

2. Initial Selection by the Editor:

   • The editor assesses the article’s academic quality, topic relevance, and adherence to the writing guidelines.

   • If the article passes the initial screening, it is forwarded to reviewers.

3. Assignment of Reviewers:

   • Accepted articles are assigned to two or more reviewers who are experts in the article's topic.

   • Reviewers provide feedback on the article's strengths, weaknesses, and scientific quality.

4. Peer Review Process:

   • The peer review process is conducted anonymously (blind review), where both the authors' and reviewers' identities are kept confidential.

   • Reviewers provide evaluations and recommendations on whether the article should be accepted without revisions, accepted with revisions, or rejected.

5. Editor’s Decision:

   • Based on the review results, the editor decides whether the article will be accepted, accepted with revisions, or rejected.

   • If revisions are needed, authors are given the opportunity to revise the article based on reviewers' comments.

6. Revisions and Resubmission:

   • Authors resubmit the revised article through the submission system for further review.

   • The editor and reviewers assess whether the revisions adequately address the concerns raised.

7. Publication:

   • Once the article is accepted, it will be processed for publication in the appropriate journal issue.
