Peer Review Policy

International Journal of Global Information Systems (GlobeIS Journal) follows a double-blind peer review process to ensure the highest standards of academic integrity and quality.

Review Process

• All submissions are initially screened by the editorial team for scope, originality, and compliance with author guidelines.
• Manuscripts passing the initial screening are sent to at least two independent expert reviewers for evaluation.
• Both the reviewers' and authors' identities are kept anonymous throughout the process (double-blind).
• Reviewers are asked to assess the manuscript's originality, methodological rigor, clarity, ethical standards, and contribution to the field.
• Based on reviewer reports, the editor may decide to accept the submission, request minor or major revisions, or reject the submission.

The journal does not guarantee acceptance, and editorial decisions are final.

Review Timeline

• Authors are notified of the first editorial decision within 4–6 weeks of submission.
• Revised manuscripts may be re-evaluated by the same reviewers.
• The final decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief.

Reviewer Responsibilities

• Provide constructive, unbiased, and timely feedback.
• Maintain strict confidentiality of the manuscript and review process.
• Disclose any conflicts of interest to the editorial office.
• Reviewers must not upload manuscripts, or any part of them, to any AI tool.

Submissions by Editors and Editorial Board Members

Manuscripts authored by an editor, editorial board member, or reviewer are handled under an independent review process. The author takes no part in the editorial handling of their own submission and has no access to reviewer identities or reports. Where the Editor-in-Chief is an author, an Associate Editor manages the submission.
