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:

  1. Accept;

  2. Accept subject to revisions;

  3. Return for major revisions and subsequent reconsideration;

  4. Reject;

The Editor communicates the decision to the author(s) along with the referee reports.

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. All submissions must be sent to jri@hec.ca. Only pdf files are accepted.
