Peer Review Process and Editorial Decision

All submitted manuscripts are read by the editorial staff. Those manuscripts evaluated by the editors to be inappropriate to the journal’s criteria are rejected promptly without any external review. Manuscripts evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to double-blind reviewers. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewer’s recommendation, from among several possibilities: Rejected, requires major revision, needs minor revision, or accepted.

The editor-in-chief of the Bulletin of Innovation in Management (BIM) has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

Review Process:

• Author submits the manuscript
• Editor’s evaluation [some manuscripts are rejected or returned before the review process]
• Double-blind peer review process
• Editor’s decision
