Peer Review Process

The Journal of Sociale Commerce employs a thorough peer review procedure to guarantee the dissemination of high-quality research. This procedure has many essential stages, each designed to rigorously evaluating the submitted manuscripts.

Preliminary Assessment

Each paper submitted to the Journal of Sociale Commerce begins with a preliminary assessment by the Editorial Board. During this initial phase, the board evaluates the manuscript to ensure it aligns with the journal's scope and standards. As part of this assessment, a plagiarism test is conducted to verify the originality of the content. If the paper meets these requirements, it progresses to the next stage.

Blind Peer Review

The manuscript then enters the blind peer review phase where each submission will be assigned three reviewers. In this process, the reviewers are provided with the manuscript and are aware of the authors' identities. However, the identity of the reviewers is not disclosed to the authors, ensuring an unbiased evaluation. This blind review process ensures impartiality and fairness, as reviewers assess the content purely based on its merit, while authors remain unaware of who is evaluating their work.

Expert Reviewers

The journal's peer reviewers are specialists in various disciplines such as economics, management, accounting, marketing, and human resources. They possess extensive expertise and a strong track record of publications in prestigious international journals. The editor may also invite external reviewers who are experts in the relevant field to provide additional insights. Their comprehensive knowledge and experience ensure a thorough and competent evaluation of each manuscript.

Feedback and Revision

After the peer review, authors receive detailed feedback from the reviewers. This feedback may include suggestions for improvements, clarifications, and critical insights to enhance the quality of the paper. Authors are expected to revise their manuscripts accordingly and resubmit them for final consideration.

Producing a high-quality article is a time-consuming process. The Journal of Sociale Commerce is committed to maintaining a robust peer review process that ensures only the most rigorous and impactful research is published.
