Frontiers of Business Studies: An International Journal uses editorial/open peer-review model, ensuring transparency thoughout the publishing process.

To help accelerate the review process:

1. The corresponding author, in agreement with co-authors, could nominate a referee to review their work.
2. The proposed referee could be from the editorial board of the journal or external (preferably with a doctorate and an active academic or institutional affiliation).
3. The journal does not make the referee’s report public unless the authors request it.
4. The journal will include the referee’s name to the article to acknowledge their voluntary contribution and support a culture of transparent scholarly recognition.

After submission, the corresponding author will receive an initial decision from the editor-in-chief. If the manuscript is judged suitable for publication, it will next be forwarded to the referee. The editors, however, reserves the right to refuse or to add certain corrections in agreement with the corresponding author and their co-authors if necessary. The authors should respect the decisions made by the editors and the referee.
