Peer Review Process

Journal of Consumer Studies and Applied Marketing (JCSAM) published the only paper strictly following JCSAM guidelines and template for the preparation manuscript. All submitted manuscripts are going through a double-blind peer review process. Those papers are read by editorial members (upon the field of specialization) and will be screened by Managing Editor to meet the necessary criteria for JCSAM publication. Manuscripts will be sent to two reviewers based on their historical experience in reviewing manuscripts or their field of specialization. JCSAM has review forms to keep the same items reviewed by two reviewers. Then editorial board decides it based on the reviewer's comments or advice. Reviewers give their assessment on originality, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field/science; JCSAM has four types of decisions:

• Accepted, as it is
• Accepted by Minor Revisions (let authors revise with stipulated time)
• Accepted by Major Revisions (let authors revise with stipulated time)
• Rejected (generally, on the grounds of the outside of scope and aim, major technical description problems, lack of clarity of presentation)
