3. Peer-Review Process

To uphold scholarly excellence and objective evaluation, JMB enforces a strict Double-Blind Peer Review policy. Neither the authors nor the reviewers are aware of each other's identities throughout the evaluation lifecycle.

  • Initial Screening: Submitted manuscripts undergo desk evaluation by the Editorial Board for scope fit, originality, and plagiarism screening (Turnitin index threshold < 20%).
  • Blind Peer Evaluation: Manuscripts passing desk screening are assigned to at least two independent subject-matter experts for double-blind review.
  • Evaluation Criteria: Assessment is based on methodological rigor, theoretical contribution, empirical validity, clarity, and policy relevance.
  • Final Determination: The Editor-in-Chief renders the final decision informed by reviewers' recommendations.

4. Editorial Decision Outcomes

Following double-blind review, the Editorial Board issues one of the four official determination outcomes:

Accept Submission: The manuscript is accepted for publication in its current form without further revisions.
Revisions Required: The manuscript is accepted conditionally, contingent upon minor authorial/editorial modifications.
Resubmit for Review: The manuscript requires substantial structural/methodological revisions and must undergo a second round of peer review.
Decline Submission: The manuscript fails to meet quality thresholds, contains severe methodological flaws, or falls outside the journal scope.
