Authors must submit their manuscripts online through the JEKAMI Journal submission system using the provided journal template.
Each submission must include:

  • A complete manuscript (prepared according to the Author Guidelines)

  • An Author Statement Form

  • An Ethics and Copyright Declaration

Submissions via email will not be accepted. The editorial team will acknowledge receipt of each submission via the OJS platform.

2. Initial Screening (Editorial Evaluation)

Every manuscript received will undergo an initial evaluation by the Editor-in-Chief or Section Editor to ensure:

  • Alignment with the Focus and Scope of the journal.

  • Compliance with Author Guidelines and Formatting Requirements.

  • Adherence to ethical publication standards.

At this stage, manuscripts will also be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin or iThenticate.
Only manuscripts with a similarity index below 20% will proceed to the peer review stage.

3. Peer Review Process

Manuscripts passing the initial screening are sent to two independent reviewers through a double-blind peer review process (see Peer Review Process page).
Each reviewer evaluates the manuscript based on:

  • Originality and significance of contribution

  • Clarity and structure of the manuscript

  • Theoretical and methodological soundness

  • Relevance to accounting and finance fields

Reviewers will provide one of the following recommendations:

  • Accept without revision

  • Accept with minor revision

  • Resubmit after major revision

  • Reject

The editorial team will notify authors of the results and provide reviewer feedback for necessary revisions.

4. Revision Stage

Authors are required to:

  • Address all reviewer comments systematically and clearly.

  • Highlight changes in the manuscript using track changes or a response letter.

  • Resubmit the revised manuscript within the given timeframe (usually 2–4 weeks).

Revised manuscripts may be re-evaluated by the same reviewers before a final editorial decision is made.

5. Editorial Decision

Based on reviewer recommendations and editorial assessment, the Editor-in-Chief will make the final decision:

  • Accept for publication

  • Request further revision

  • Reject

Authors will be notified of the decision via the OJS system. All accepted manuscripts proceed to the production stage.

6. Copyediting and Proofreading
