PEER REVIEW PROCESS

International Journal of Digital Entrepreneurship and Business adopts double blind review process closely monitored by the editors. Editors undertake editorial review to assess the quality and type of submission before sending it to the review process. Manuscripts not meeting the scientific standards or are out of scope of the journal will not be considered for the reviewing process. Editors will also check the readability, grammatical usage and may ask for resubmission if papers don’t meet the necessary guidelines. Editor handling the manuscript will most likely make a decision within a day or two. The editor will then contact the corresponding author with the decision.
