Peer Review Process
KAJIAN: Journal of Accounting, Management, and Islamic Banking implements a double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and scientific contribution of every manuscript submitted for publication. In this system, the identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed from one another throughout the review process.
Each manuscript submitted to the journal is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the manuscript’s subject area. The purpose of the review process is to assess the manuscript’s academic merit, methodological rigor, originality, clarity, and relevance to the journal’s scope.
