Peer Review Process
Publication Policy
UTSAHA strictly follows the publication process, guidelines, and templates of the Open Journal System, which have been established in accordance with scientific article standards. Every submitted manuscript will undergo an editorial screening and peer-review process.
After the review process, the manuscript will be examined by the editorial members and corrected by the Managing Editor to ensure that it meets the criteria required by the reviewers and the editorial standards of UTSAHA: Journal of Entrepreneurship.
Each manuscript will be assigned to two reviewers selected based on their reviewing experience and fields of specialization. Reviewers will complete the provided review form and evaluate the manuscript in terms of clarity, originality, scientific quality, and contribution to the relevant field. Authors must revise their manuscripts based on the comments and recommendations provided by the reviewers.
