Peer-Review Policy

iRASD Journal of Finance (iRASD-JOF) operates a double-blind peer-review process to support the quality, integrity, and scholarly relevance of the research it publishes. In this process, the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from one another throughout the review and editorial decision-making stages.

Each manuscript submitted to the journal undergoes an initial editorial assessment to determine its suitability for the journal’s scope, scholarly standards, and submission requirements. Manuscripts that pass this screening are normally sent to at least two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise.

The journal’s double peer-review process is intended to ensure that editorial decisions are informed by expert evaluation of the manuscript’s originality, methodological rigor, clarity, ethical compliance, and contribution to the field. Reviewers are asked to provide constructive, objective, and evidence-based comments to assist both the editors in decision-making and the authors in improving their work.

The final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection rests with the editorial team. The journal is committed to conducting peer review in a fair, confidential, and timely manner and in accordance with recognized standards of publication ethics and good editorial practice.

This policy is aligned with the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing and with the ethical guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
