Peer Review Process

When a manuscript is submitted for evaluation, the Editor and the Editorial Assistant conduct an initial screening to verify compliance with the journal’s author guidelines and editorial standards. Only manuscripts that satisfactorily meet these requirements proceed to the peer review stage. Upon recommendation of the Editorial Committee, two independent peer reviewers are appointed for original research articles, review articles, and reflection articles derived from research, while one reviewer is assigned to reflection articles not derived from research.

The journal applies a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. Reviewers may be national or international and are preferably external to the publishing institution, in order to guarantee impartiality and independence.

Peer reviewers provide their assessment using a standardized evaluation form, which examines the clarity, coherence, methodological rigor, relevance, and scientific merit of the manuscript. Specifically, the evaluation considers the problem statement, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusions, as well as the extent to which the manuscript makes a meaningful contribution to the preservation, transmission, expansion, or advancement of knowledge in the field.

Once all reviewers’ reports have been received, the Editorial Committee decides whether the manuscript will be accepted without revisions, accepted subject to revisions, or rejected. In cases where there is a substantial divergence of opinions among reviewers regarding acceptance, an additional reviewer may be appointed. The Editorial Committee evaluates all reports collectively and makes the final decision. The journal reserves the right to accept or reject any submission in accordance with its editorial policies.

Publication of the manuscript is conditional upon the author’s commitment to address all reviewers’ comments. Revised versions must be submitted through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform within the established timeframe. Authors are required to provide a detailed response to each reviewer comment, indicating how revisions were implemented or, when comments are not incorporated, offering a clear and reasoned justification.

The Editorial Committee makes the final decision regarding publication, based on compliance with editorial policies and the recommendations of the peer reviewers.

Acceptance of a manuscript for publication constitutes the authors’ explicit authorization for the journal to edit, reproduce, translate, and disseminate the content by any means and formats. Neither the Corporación Universitaria Remington nor AMR – Accounting and Management Research Journal assumes responsibility for the opinions expressed in published articles, which remain the sole responsibility of the authors. This authorization is formalized through the authorship declaration form (IN-FR-32). The estimated duration of the editorial process, from submission to publication, is approximately six months.
