Review Policy

Peer Review Process

Every manuscript submitted to JEI will be reviewed by at least one reviewer through a blind review process. The decision on whether a submitted article will be published or not is determined by the Editorial Team based on the reviewer’s comments. The plagiarism check is the sole responsibility of the author(s).
