Journal Policy
REVIEW POLICY
Reviewing (expertise) of manuscripts of scientific articles is carried out in order to maintain the high scientific and theoretical level of the journal "Economics. Management. Business" and to select the most valuable and relevant scientific works.
The journal "Economics. Management. Business" uses double-blind (anonymous) review: the personal data of the author/authors are not disclosed to the reviewer; no personal data of the reviewer is disclosed to the author/authors.
Scientific articles submitted to the editorial board are subject to priority control over compliance with the requirements for scientific articles.
The primary expert assessment of a scientific article is carried out by the editor-in-chief or deputy editor-in-chief.
The editorial board determines a reviewer from the editorial board who supervises the relevant scientific direction of the article submitted for publication. In the absence of a curator of the relevant direction, the editorial board appoints an external reviewer for this work. Reviewers (both members of the editorial board and external reviewers) should be well-known experts in the subject of the submitted manuscript and have publications in this field (preferably within the last 5 years).
