Peer Review Process

Peer review is organized strictly according to the established process. The articles are reviewed by at least two active scholars who the editors confidentially appoint. Papers submitted to Intellectual Economics undergo peer review to uphold the journal's standards and provide authors with constructive feedback on their submissions. Manuscripts are sent out for review using the OJS platform, and all correspondence occurs through the same platform.

Intellectual Economics employs a 'double-blind' review process: the reviewer's identity is not disclosed to the author and vice versa. Peer reviewers are asked to give their opinions on several issues pertinent to a paper's quality and suitability and evaluate papers based on originality and scientific contributions. Reviewers are instructed to provide constructive and formative feedback to authors.

Peer reviewers have four possible options for any paper:

• Accept the manuscript without further amendments;
• Accept manuscript with minor amendments;
• Suggest to make substantial amendments (paper will be sent out for another peer review round);
• Reject manuscript (i.e., if the manuscript is not sufficiently developed for publication).

Authors are expected to revise the accepted manuscript for publication based on the reviews received or provide a substantiated explanation of why they have not been incorporated. Authors should submit the corrected version with highlighted updates. A separate document containing the authors' explanations for each reviewer's comments should also be uploaded, indicating the location in the manuscript where the updates can be found.

In addition, manuscripts may be returned to the authors by the editors before review if they are out of scope, out of the limits of the word length guidance, or not sufficiently prepared for publication.

Furthermore, the editors may reject or return manuscripts to the authors before review if they are out of scope, exceed the word length guidance, or are inadequately prepared for publication.

Publication Frequency

Articles will be published online twice yearly, in July and December. Special issues may be published upon the decision of the Editorial Board. Articles are assigned a DOI number (Digital Object Identifier) for citation and other purposes.

 

Generative AI usage policy

• Copywriting any part of an article using a generative AI tool/LLM would not be permissible, including generating the abstract or the literature review. The author(s) must be responsible for the work and accountable for its accuracy, integrity, and validity.
• The generation or reporting of results using a generative AI tool/LLM is not permissible. The author(s) must be responsible for creating and interpreting their work and accountable for its accuracy, integrity, and validity.
• Copy-editing an article using a generative AI tool/LLM to improve its language and readability would be permissible, as this mirrors standard tools already employed to improve spelling and grammar and uses existing author-created material rather than generating wholly new content while the author(s) remains responsible for the original work.
• The submission and publication of images created by AI tools or large-scale generative models is not permitted.
