2. Peer Review Process

Review of Accounting and Business (Reas) applied a double-blind peer review process for each manuscript by involving the board of editors and two peer reviewers. The decision of the article to be published in the journal considers several factors such as the relevance of the article and its contribution to the development of accounting practices and the accounting profession in business as well as compliance to the requirement of a published article. Editors and reviewers provide evaluation and constructive suggestions for the author.

 The peer reviewers will not acknowledge the name and institution of the author or vice versa. The review process in Reas consists of the following steps: 

  1. Detection of plagiarism using Turnitin software
  2. Initial review by editor
  3. Double-blind peer review process by a reviewer
  4. Final review by editor

The review results produce the following decision: 

  • Articles are accepted without revision.
  • Articles are received with minor revisions (as recommended by peer reviewers and board of editor).
  • Articles are accepted with major revisions (as recommended by peer reviewers and board of editor).
  • Articles are rejected.

 3. Open Access Policy

4. Publication Ethics

Review of Accounting and Business (Reas) is a blind-reviewed journal published biannually (June and December). The journal publishes papers in accounting and business that make a significant contribution to the development of accounting practices in business.

Publishing articles in blindly reviewed journals is an important part of knowledge development. This is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Blindly reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree on a standard of ethical behavior expected of all parties involved in the publishing act: journal editors, reviewers, and authors. These ethics guidelines were adopted from Elsevier's publication ethics policy.
