EcoFin: Journal of Economics and Financial Accounting follows a double-blind peer review process, ensuring that both the authors' and reviewers' identities are kept confidential to maintain objectivity and scholarly integrity.

Review Stages:

1. Initial Editorial Screening

   • The editor evaluates whether the manuscript fits the journal’s focus and scope and meets basic formatting requirements.

   • Manuscripts failing this stage will be returned to the authors without further review.

2. Reviewer Assignment

   • Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise.

   • The review is conducted anonymously (double-blind).

3. Reviewer Evaluation

   • Reviewers assess the manuscript for originality, significance, clarity, and methodological rigor.

   • Recommendations may include: accept without revision, accept with minor revisions, revise and resubmit (major revisions), or reject.

4. Editorial Decision

   • The editor reviews the feedback from the reviewers and makes a final decision: accept, request revision, or reject.

   • Authors are given a specific time frame to revise their manuscripts according to reviewer comments.

5. Re-review (if needed)

   • Revised manuscripts may be sent back to the original reviewers for further evaluation, especially in the case of major revisions.

6. Final Decision and Publication

   • Once accepted, the manuscript proceeds to copyediting and will be scheduled for publication in an upcoming issue.
