SYNERGY: Journal of Business and Management recognizes the efforts and suggestions made by its reviewers. 

Initial evaluation of manuscripts

The Editor will first evaluate all manuscripts submitted at a maximum of 3 weeks' time. Although rare, it is entirely feasible for an exceptional manuscript to be accepted at this stage. Those rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, or are outside the aims and scope of the SYNERGY: Jurnal Bisnis dan Manajemen. Those that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to expert reviewers for review. It usually took up to 8.

Type of peer review

The method is blind peer review.

Review reports
