Peer Review Process

 

Peer Review Policy

Jurnal Manajemen Bisnis dan Pariwisata (MANBISPAR) implements a two-stage review process to ensure academic rigor and publication quality. The initial review is conducted by the Editor-in-Chief to check for plagiarism and assess manuscript quality before forwarding it to the peer-review stage. Editors are generally allocated around four weeks for the initial screening, depending on the submission volume.

If the manuscript passes the first stage, it proceeds to a financial and technical review by the section editor. Each accepted submission is evaluated by two independent reviewers with proven expertise and relevant interests in the manuscript’s topic.

MANBISPAR applies a double-blind peer review policy, ensuring that both reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the process. All identifying information is removed by the editorial team, and authors are required to use an assigned manuscript ID instead of personal identifiers during submission.

Review Criteria

  • Contribution to the fields of Management, Business, and Formal Sciences
  • Relevance and critical use of literature, with examination of prior findings
  • Clarity of research objectives and development goals
  • Appropriateness and rigor of research methodology
  • Completeness of empirical data, quality of analysis, and well-structured discussion
  • Compliance with MANBISPAR’s author guidelines and ethical standards
  • Plagiarism level must be below 30%

Review Timeline

Once approved for peer review, the total process takes approximately three months from submission. Upon acceptance, manuscripts enter the publication phase, bringing the overall timeline to around five months.

Authors are expected to respond carefully and comprehensively to reviewers’ feedback. Failure to address comments or incomplete revisions may result in rejection during the final editorial decision.

All review activities are conducted confidentially to uphold integrity and transparency in scholarly publishing.
