Peer Review Process

International Journal of Tourism Business Research (INTOUR) is committed to peer-review integrity and upholding the standards of review. Once submitted article will be assessed for suitability by the editorial team, and it will then be single-blind peer reviewed by an independent, anonymous expert reviewer. International Journal of Tourism Business Research (INTOUR) Review Guideline is as follows:

Step 1: Editorial assessment

Peer review follows a number of stages, beginning with the submission step. At this first stage, the journal editor will decide if the submitted article is suitable for the journal, asking questions such as:

• Has the author followed the journal’s guidelines?
• Is this the right journal for the article?
• Will the journal’s readers find it interesting and useful?

The editor might reject the article immediately, but otherwise it will move to the next stage and into peer review.

Step 2: First round of peer review

The editor will find and contact potential reviewers or other researchers, or academics who are experts in the field. They will be asked to read the article and advise the editor whether to publish the article in this journal

Step 3: Revise and resubmit

The author(s) can then revise their article based on the reviewers’ comments, resubmitting it with any or all changes made. The author(s) may be asked to make further revisions, or the paper may be rejected if the editor thinks that the revisions they have made are not adequate.
