Peer-Review Process

New England College is committed to high-quality standards and thus uses a peer-review process. Once you submit your paper, the Editor reviews the manuscript for suitability for the journal per the ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥JAER guidelines. If the paper does not meet eligibility requirements, the editor will work with the author to meet the journal requirements. If the editor deems the manuscript suitable for the journal, it is submitted for a double-masked review process. Reviewers share their manuscript feedback and recommendations for publication. Editor decisions include rejection, revision and review, acceptance with minor edits, and acceptance, and the editor shares the decision with the author.

If the decision is accepted with minor edits, the editor oversees the completion of those revisions. If the decision is revision and review, the revised manuscript is shared with the original peer reviewers for their review, feedback, and evaluation. The editor may decide to publish the piece or request further revisions. If the manuscript is rejected, the editor shares feedback and offers the author the opportunity to rewrite the piece and submit it for a future issue of the journal.

A desk review by the editor takes roughly two weeks to complete. If the manuscript is sent out for peer review, the process takes approximately four–six weeks.
