The maximum length of the letters is limited to 2,500 words.
Abbreviated journal title: Econ Bus Lett
Peer Review Process
Quality originals will be pre-screened by the Editorial Board and then articles will be peer-reviewed in a double-blind revision process by, at least, two experts in the field of the paper. An editorial decision (accept, minor changes, reject) will be made normally within 12 weeks from reception -but queries about status will be not answered within the first 6 months- . No major revision will be considered.
