The Universal Scholars Journal of Business and Management Research (US-JBMR) follows a double-blind peer review system to ensure fairness and maintain high academic standards.

In this process:

• Authors’ identities are hidden from the reviewers.

• Reviewers’ identities are hidden from the authors.

This helps us ensure an unbiased and fair evaluation of all manuscripts before they are published.

Steps of the Review Process

1. Submission
   Authors submit their manuscripts according to the journal’s submission guidelines. Proper formatting helps speed up the review process.

2. Initial Screening
   The editorial team checks each manuscript for originality, fit with the journal’s scope, and adherence to author guidelines. Manuscripts not meeting these standards may be returned for corrections or rejected.

3. Assignment to Reviewers
   Suitable manuscripts are sent to qualified reviewers who are experts in the field.

4. Peer Review
   Reviewers carefully assess the manuscript for quality, originality, clarity, and contribution to the field. They then provide constructive feedback and recommend one of the following:

   • Acceptance

   • Minor Revisions

   • Major Revisions

   • Rejection

5. Final Decision
   The Managing Editor considers the reviewers’ reports and makes the final decision. Authors are informed promptly and provided with detailed feedback for improvements if needed.

Timeline

The review process usually takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the length of the manuscript, subject area, and complexity of the research.

At US-JBMR, we are committed to a fast, fair, and transparent review process so that high-quality research can reach the academic community without delay.
