Review Process
Papers submitted to The Journal of Risk and Insurance are initially screened
by the Editor for suitability. Papers passing the
initial screen are sent to referees. Based on the
referee reports, the editor makes one of the following
decisions:
-
Accept;
-
Return for minor revisions;
-
Return
for major revisions and subsequent reconsideration;
-
Reject.
The Editor communicates the decision
to the author(s) along with the referee reports.
The review process is a double blind. Authorship of
papers under consideration is anonymous to the reviewers,
and the identities of reviewers are not revealed to
the authors. The author name and institution should
only appear on the first page of the submitted manuscript
so that it can be removed prior to sending it to the
reviewers.
