Indian Journal of Finance
The Indian Journal of Finance invites qualified researchers and academics to join its reviewer panel. Peer reviewers play a vital role in upholding the quality, rigour, and integrity of scholarly publishing. As a reviewer for the Indian Journal of Finance, you contribute directly to the advancement of research in finance in India and emerging markets.
All peer review is conducted on a double-blind basis in accordance with COPE's Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers (publicationethics.org/guidance/Guidelines).
Objectivity
Conduct reviews objectively and without personal bias. Critique the work, not the author. Support all evaluative comments with reasoned arguments and evidence from the manuscript.
Confidentiality
Treat all manuscripts as strictly confidential. Do not share, discuss, or use the content of a manuscript under review without prior authorisation from the Editor-in-Chief.
Promptness
Complete reviews within the timeframe communicated at the point of assignment. If you are unable to review a manuscript, notify the Editorial Office promptly so that an alternative reviewer can be assigned without delay.
Conflict of Interest
Declare any potential conflict of interest — including competitive, collaborative, or personal relationships with the authors — before accepting a review assignment, and recuse yourself where necessary.
Constructive Feedback
Provide actionable, specific, and constructive feedback that assists authors in improving their manuscript, regardless of the final recommendation.
Source Acknowledgement
Identify any relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors, and bring any concerns regarding plagiarism or duplicate publication to the attention of the Editor-in-Chief.
Reviewer applications are assessed by the editorial team on a rolling basis. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted by the Editorial Office with an invitation to register as a reviewer on the Editorial Scholar portal, through which all review assignments and correspondence are managed.
