Manuscript proposals are submitted via this website for consideration. The editorial board will first judge whether the manuscript fits with the scholarly or practitioner focus of the journals. If accepted for consideration, the manuscript is sent out for double-blind peer review to two reviewers. The reviewers assess the manuscript using a structured rubric that measures the strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript, its overall contribution, and recommendation for publication. Reviewers are also asked to provide free response comments . The editorial board then decides whether the manuscript should be: (1) unconditionally accepted, (2) accepted with revision, or (3) rejected. The editorial board endeavors to complete peer review within 1-2 months although it does not warrant this in all cases.
Manuscripts intended for The BRC Academy Journal of Business or The BRC Academy Journal of Education should represent 15-25 double-spaced pages excluding tables and references.
