A JBBM mandate is fostering an
Editorial atmosphere that respects the authors'
and reviewers' dignity. The review process is viewed as "anonymous group
study". The goal is to search for various ways to improve the quality of the manuscript.
Reviewers will provide comments and critiques in a
confidential, constructive and relatively unbiased manner. An author
whose manuscript is invited for resubmission is expected to reply to most if
not all
reviewers concerns in a similar manner.
All manuscripts submitted to the JBBM are reviewed using a double-blind
peer review
process. Three reviewers are typically used
for each submission. The authors are informed about the status of their submission in approximately ten
weeks (slightly longer during semester intersession).
The Editor has the final authority to
accept or reject any manuscript.
