FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Welcome to the FAQ page for the Journal of International Business, Economics and Entrepreneurship (JIBE). Here you will find answers to common questions regarding submission, review, publication, and editorial involvement.
Submissions
1. Can I submit a manuscript to JIBE at any time of the year?
Yes, JIBE accepts submissions year-round with no deadline restrictions. However, the timeline for publication depends on the peer review process and editorial decision. Early submission is encouraged to ensure adequate time for review.
2. What is the typical timeline for publishing in JIBE after submission?
Once submitted, manuscripts undergo editorial screening and double-blind peer review by at least two reviewers. The review duration varies depending on reviewer availability and author responsiveness. While timelines may differ, we strive for a thorough yet efficient review process.
3. Can my manuscript be fast-tracked to meet my graduation requirement?
No. All manuscripts are subject to the same rigorous peer review process. Editors cannot guarantee expedited acceptance or publication to meet graduation or employment deadlines. Authors are advised to plan submissions accordingly.
4. Can I submit my manuscript by email?
No. JIBE uses an online submission system for all manuscript handling and communication. Submissions must be made via the journal’s website to ensure proper tracking and workflow.
5. Can I request the editor to expedite or prioritize my submission?
No. Editors strive to process all submissions efficiently and fairly. Requests for prioritization may compromise editorial impartiality and are discouraged.
Review & Publication Process
6. Can I know exactly when my manuscript will be accepted or published?
The decision and publication timeline depends on reviewer feedback, revision rounds, and editorial evaluation. We are unable to guarantee or predict specific acceptance or publication dates.
7. When will I receive the Letter of Acceptance (LOA)?
An official Letter of Acceptance (LOA) is issued only after the final version of the manuscript is approved by the editor following peer review. LOAs are not issued upon submission.
