BJFN uses a peer review process to ensure the quality and validity of submitted manuscripts. Peer review involves independent experts in the field evaluating the manuscript before publication.

1. Manuscript Submission: Authors submit their manuscripts to BJFN through the online submission system, following the journal's guidelines and formatting requirements.
2. Initial Editorial Evaluation: Upon receiving a manuscript, the editor conducts an initial evaluation to assess its suitability for publication in BJFN. Factors considered include relevance to the journal's scope, originality, and adherence to ethical standards.
3. Assignment of Reviewers: If the manuscript passes the initial evaluation, the editor assigns reviewers who are experts in the field. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise and lack of conflicts of interest.
4. Double-Blind Review: BJFN uses a double-blind review process, where the identities of both the authors and reviewers are kept anonymous. This ensures impartiality and prevents bias in the review process.
5. Peer Review Evaluation: Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on various criteria, including originality, significance, methodology, results, and conclusions. They provide constructive feedback and recommend whether the manuscript should be accepted, revised, or rejected.
6. Editorial Decision: The editor decides the manuscript based on the reviewers' feedback. This decision is communicated to the authors along with the reviewers' comments.
7. Author Revisions: If the manuscript requires revisions, the authors can revise their manuscript based on the reviewers' comments and the editor's feedback.
8. Re-review (if necessary): After the authors have revised their manuscript, it may be sent back to the reviewers for re-review to ensure that the revisions adequately address the reviewers' concerns.
9. Final Editorial Decision: Once the revisions are completed and the reviewers are satisfied, the editor makes a final decision regarding the manuscript. This decision is communicated to the authors along with any final comments or suggestions.
10. Publication: Accepted manuscripts are published in BJFN according to the journal's publication schedule. Authors are notified of the publication date and receive a copy of their published manuscript.
11. Anonymity Preserved: Throughout the review process, the anonymity of both the authors and reviewers is preserved to ensure a fair and unbiased evaluation of the manuscript.
12. Author Notification: Authors are notified of the editorial decision regarding their manuscript and are provided with feedback from the reviewers and editor.
13. Ethical Considerations: BJFN adheres to strict ethical standards in publishing. This includes ensuring the confidentiality of the review process, addressing conflicts of interest, and maintaining the integrity of the publication process.
