Reviewer Guideline

The article submitted to JEIMP for publication is evaluated by field-specific reviewers and the final decision is at acceptance or rejection taken by the editorial board, not only on the reviewers' decision. The editorial board can change reviewers and the number of referees required to evaluate an article depends on the article's specificity and originality. Names of reviewers evaluating the articles are not informed to the authors (Double-Blind peer-review). The names of the authors not to be seen by the reviewers (double-blind peer review) is left to the preference of the authors. The authors using this preference should delete the lines of name and address in the article. Depending on the reviewer's reports, the decision of major revision or minor revision can be given to the articles which aren’t seen enough. The articles which aren’t reached the intended level or don’t seem enough in terms of scientific perspective are declined.
