At Rekeng Journal, every submitted article will go through a rigorous peer review process to ensure scientific quality and relevance to the accounting field. The following are the stages of the peer review process in our journal:

1. Initial Review by Editor
   After the article is submitted, the editorial team will conduct an initial review to ensure that the article meets the journal's basic requirements, including topic relevance, suitability to focus and scope, and compliance with writing guidelines. Articles that do not meet these criteria will be returned to the author for revision or rejected.

 

2. Preliminary Review Process
   Articles that pass the initial review will be forwarded to the initial review process by the editor. The editor will check for potential plagiarism using plagiarism detection software. Articles that are suspected of plagiarism or are not original will be immediately rejected.

 

3. Reviewer Selection
   If the article is declared to meet the initial standards, the editor will appoint two independent reviewers who have expertise in the accounting field that is relevant to the topic of the article. This peer review process is double-blind, where the identities of the author and reviewer are kept confidential to maintain the objectivity of the assessment.

 

4. Review Process (Double-Blind Review)
   The reviewers will evaluate the articles based on certain criteria, including originality, relevance, methodology, data analysis, writing quality, and contribution to the field of accounting. The reviewers will provide recommendations that include:

       -      Accepted without revision

       -      Accepted with minor revisions

       -      Accepted with major revisions

       -      Rejected

       The reviewers are also asked to provide constructive feedback to help the authors improve their articles.

 

5. Editor's Decision
   After receiving the review results, the editor will consider all input from the reviewers and provide a final decision regarding the article. The editor's decision may be:

       -      Accepted: The article is ready to be published without changes.

       -      Accepted with revisions: The author is asked to make minor or major revisions based on the reviewers' comments.

       -      Rejected: The article does not meet the journal's standards and will not be published.

 

6. Revision by Author
   If revisions are needed, the article will be returned to the author to be revised according to the reviewers' input. The author is asked to submit a revised article along with responses to any reviewers' comments within the specified time frame.

 

7. Revision Review
   After the revisions are submitted, the editor will re-review the article. If the revisions are deemed adequate, the article will proceed to the final stage. If the revisions are significant, the article may be sent back to the reviewer for re-assessment.

 

8. Final Preparation and Publication
   Once accepted for publication, the article will go through a final editing and layout process to ensure compliance with the Rekeng Journal publication format. The article will then be published in the next issue of the journal.

 

This peer review process is carried out to ensure that every article published in Rekeng Journal has high scientific quality, makes a significant contribution to accounting science, and is relevant to readers from academics and practitioners.
