The Journal of New Business Ideas and Trends (JNBIT) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic quality, integrity, and transparency through a rigorous peer-review process. All submitted manuscripts undergo independent evaluation by qualified experts to ensure the publication of high-quality scholarly research.

Review Model

JNBIT follows a Double-Blind Peer Review process, in which:

• Authors do not know the identity of reviewers.
• Reviewers do not know the identity of authors.
• Manuscripts are evaluated solely on academic merit, originality, and relevance.

This process helps ensure fairness, objectivity, and unbiased editorial decisions.

Upon submission, manuscripts undergo an initial assessment by the Editorial Office to determine:

• Compliance with journal guidelines.
• Relevance to the journal's aims and scope.
• Originality and academic quality.
• Adherence to ethical standards.

Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be returned to authors before peer review or rejected at the editorial stage.
