Peer Review Process

The papers are reviewed using the traditional double-blind peer review system, meaning that both the reviewer and the author(s) remain anonymous to each other. The journal entrusts the review to subject matter experts, who may be members of the journal’s editorial board or external reviewers. Based on the review reports, the journal editor will make the final decision regarding the publication of the paper.

To ensure that the papers do not lose relevance, the journal’s management and reviewers make a special effort to review the articles as quickly as possible.

Revista EJEF employs software and tools for plagiarism detection, ensuring academic and ethical integrity in its publications, following, among others, the Committee on Publication Ethics – COPE.
