Journal of Business Economics - Guidelines for Special Issues and Topical Collections

For both Special Issues and Topical Collections reviewing processes must take place in accordance with the principles of transparency and objectivity, which is achieved through adherence to the established practice of double-blind peer reviews.

Double-blind peer review

This journal follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. This means that the author will remain anonymous to the reviewers throughout peer review. It is the responsibility of the author to anonymize the manuscript and any associated materials.

• Author names, affiliations and any other potentially identifying information should be removed from the manuscript text and any accompanying files (such as figures of supplementary material);

• A separate Title Page should be submitted, containing title, author names, affiliations, and the contact information of the corresponding author. Any acknowledgements, disclosures, or funding information should also be included on this page;

• Authors should avoid citing their own work in a way that could reveal their identity.
