The Peer Review Process at the Journal of Finance and Banking is conducted through a double-blind review, meaning the identities of authors and reviewers are hidden from each other to maintain objectivity. The steps are as follows:

1. Manuscript Submission
   Authors submit their manuscript via the OJS system, complete with curriculum vitae and copyright transfer form.

2. Administrative and Plagiarism Check
   The editorial office checks the completeness of documents, manuscript format, and verifies originality using anti-plagiarism software.

3. Reviewer Assignment
   Manuscripts that pass the initial check are sent to 2-3 reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. Reviewers are selected based on their competence and research experience related to the manuscript topic.

4. Reviewer Evaluation
   Reviewers assess the manuscript based on:

   • Title, abstract, and keywords

   • Introduction and research objectives

   • Research methods

   • Results and analysis

   • Discussion and scientific contribution

   • Conclusion and recommendations

   • References

   Reviewers provide recommendations: accept without revision, accept with minor revision, accept with major revision, or reject.

5. Editorial Decision
   Editors review the reviewers’ comments, make the final decision, and notify the author.

6. Manuscript Revision
   If revisions are required, authors revise the manuscript according to reviewers’ suggestions and resubmit it to the editorial office.

7. Final Verification
   The editorial office checks the revised manuscript to ensure all corrections have been made and confirms it is ready for publication.

8. Publication
   Manuscripts that pass peer review are published in the journal, both in print and electronic formats.
