Editorial Workflow Process of Journal of Sharia Economics

1. Initial Assessment by the Editor:
   The journal editor will first examine your article. The main focus at this stage is to ensure that the article’s content aligns with the journal’s focus and scope.
2. Editor's Decision:
• Meets Focus and Scope Criteria: If the editor finds your article relevant to the journal’s focus and scope, it will proceed to the next stage.
• Does Not Meet Focus and Scope Criteria: If the article is deemed not suitable, it will most likely be rejected at this stage without entering the review process.
3. Review Process (Maximum 14 Days):
   Articles that pass the initial editorial assessment will enter the review process. At this stage, the article is sent to reviewers who are experts in the subject matter of your article. This review assignment stage is expected to take a maximum of 14 days.
4. Review by the Review Team (Maximum 30 Working Days):
   Once assigned, the review team will conduct a thorough evaluation of the scientific quality, methodology, novelty, and other aspects of your article. This review process has a time limit of up to 30 working days.
5. Feedback from Reviewers via the Editor:
   After the review process is completed, you will receive feedback from the reviewers through the editor. This feedback will be one of the following decisions:
• Major Correction: Your article is essentially accepted but requires substantial and comprehensive revisions based on the reviewers’ comments and suggestions. You must address all identified issues before the article can be considered for publication.
• Minor Correction: Your article is deemed acceptable with only minor corrections or slight improvements. Once you make revisions as suggested, the article is likely to be accepted for publication.
• Rejection: Your article is not accepted for publication in this journal. This decision means the reviewers found fundamental flaws or that the article does not meet the journal’s publication standards. In such cases, you cannot proceed with the same article in this journal.
6. Post-Revision Evaluation by the Editor:
   After the author completes the revisions based on reviewer feedback, the next steps are:
   • Revision Accepted: If the editor is satisfied with the revision quality and believes that all reviewer points have been sufficiently addressed, the article will be approved to proceed to the next stage.
   • Revision Rejected or Requires Further Revision: If the editor considers the revisions insufficient or notes remaining deficiencies, they may request additional revisions or even reject the article if the required improvements are not met.
• Assessment of Revisions by the Editor: The editor will re-examine the revised article. At this stage, the editor will evaluate whether the author has adequately and thoroughly addressed all reviewer comments and suggestions. This evaluation usually takes 3–5 days.
• Editorial Decision on the Revisions
7. Copyediting Stage:
   Once the editor accepts the revised article, it moves to the copyediting stage. Here, the article will be thoroughly reviewed for grammar, spelling, punctuation, writing style, and formatting to meet the journal's publication standards. This stage typically takes 30–60 days.
8. Publication or Production Stage:
   After the copyeditor completes their task, the article enters the publication or production phase. This stage usually takes 3–20 working days until the article is ready for publication in the final volume and issue.
