Peer Review Process
MADISHA: Journal of Management, Digital Business, and Sharia Economics applies a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality, originality, relevance, and academic integrity of all published articles.
1. Initial Manuscript Screening
All submitted manuscripts will undergo an initial screening by the Editorial Team to assess their conformity with the journal's Focus and Scope, manuscript guidelines, originality, plagiarism/similarity level, AI-generated content, and basic academic and technical requirements. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal's requirements may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected before entering the peer-review process.
2. Peer Review Process
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will be assigned to qualified reviewers with relevant expertise. MADISHA applies a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of the authors and reviewers are concealed from each other. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on its originality, theoretical foundation, methodology, analysis, results, discussion, contribution, references, and overall academic quality.
3. Reviewer's Recommendation
Reviewers may provide one of the following recommendations:
-
Accept Submission
-
Revisions Required
-
Resubmit for Review
-
Resubmit Elsewhere
-
Decline Submission
Authors may be required to revise their manuscripts based on reviewers' comments and recommendations. Revised manuscripts may be returned to the reviewers for further evaluation when necessary.
4. Editorial Decision
The final decision regarding the acceptance, revision, or rejection of a manuscript is made by the Editor-in-Chief and MADISHA Editorial Team, taking into consideration the reviewers' recommendations, the quality of the manuscript, and its relevance to the journal's scope. A reviewer's recommendation does not automatically determine the final editorial decision.
5. Review Duration
MADISHA strives to conduct the peer-review process efficiently while maintaining the quality and integrity of the evaluation. The review duration may vary depending on the availability of reviewers, the complexity of the manuscript, and the extent of revisions required.
6. Confidentiality and Ethical Standards
All manuscripts and information obtained during the peer-review process must be treated as confidential. Reviewers must provide objective and constructive comments and must not use unpublished information from the manuscript for personal or professional advantage. Authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to disclose any potential conflicts of interest and uphold the principles of academic integrity throughout the publication process.
