Peer reviewers are essential to ensuring the scholarly quality and credibility of IJMRI. We operate a rigorous double-blind peer review system in which both author and reviewer identities are concealed.

Reviewer Eligibility & Selection

• Hold a doctoral degree or equivalent professional qualification with demonstrated expertise in management or innovation research.
• Have a strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals.
• Be free of conflicts of interest with the manuscript’s authors or content.

Reviewers are selected from our expanding database, author-suggested experts (subject to conflict checks), and public academic directories. We actively seek geographical and gender diversity to minimize bias.

• Evaluate manuscripts for originality, methodological soundness, clarity, ethical compliance, and contribution to the field.
• Provide detailed, evidence-based comments that assist both authors and editors.
• Maintain absolute confidentiality and not discuss or disclose manuscript content.

Recognition & Support

• Reviewers receive formal acknowledgment certificates upon request.
• Outstanding reviewers are recognized annually on our website and may be invited to join the Editorial Board.
