General Writing Guidelines

Articles submitted must be intended exclusively for the Journal of Economics and Business UHAFIZ (JEBU), must not have been previously published, and must not be under consideration by any other journal. For multi-author manuscripts, the corresponding author must confirm that all co-authors agree with the submitted manuscript and any subsequent revisions.

Research involving human subjects must obtain informed consent from participants and secure ethical clearance from a registered ethics committee. If the research receives institutional funding, authors must declare any potential conflicts of interest in a dedicated statement at the end of the article.

Review Process

Each submitted article is initially assessed by the editor. If it meets the journal's basic requirements, it will be forwarded to two reviewers with relevant expertise. Possible editorial decisions based on reviewer evaluation include:

• Accepted without revision
• Accepted with minor revision
• Accepted with major revision
• Rejected

Authors will be given the opportunity to revise manuscripts according to reviewer comments. The results of the review process will be communicated to the corresponding author.
