Double-Blind Peer Review Process

The following information is intended to give an outline of the information required when proposing a special issue of our double-blind peer-reviewed journals, Journal of Customer Behaviour and Social Business.

Authors submitting a manuscript to one of our journals do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the paper exclusive shall be assigned to the Publisher.

Authors who have published an article in one of our journals will receive a copy of the journal issue in which their article appears. If they wish to order further copies of the journal they can do so at a special author rate.  Please contact us for further details at sales@westburn.co.uk

Westburn Publishers Ltd is a member of CrossRef, the citation linking backbone for online publications. Each article published by participating publishers is assigned a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) which is paired with the URL of the article. This information is deposited in a central DOI directory and this allows links to this content to become live, so, for example, references in an article from a participating publisher will automatically become hyperlinks to the referenced item as it is deposited in the central directory. In most cases this will lead to the abstract and details of the article with an opportunity to purchase access, or, if you have a subscription, to the full text.

Westburn Publishers has policies in place for Self-Archiving and Open Access.

If you wish to receive a sample copy of any of our journals, please do not hesitate to contact us at journals@westburn.co.uk stating your name, address and which journal you would like to receive.

If you would like to recommend one of our publications to your library, you can print out forms to give to your librarian.
