EIBA conferences apply a double-blind review process that aims to advance research in the field of International Business. 

Our goal is to put together a rigorous academic conference, and your help is critical. Please provide critical, yet valuable and concrete feedback that can help colleagues further develop their manuscripts. 

Key Review Principles 

• Be specific: Instead of stating that you like or dislike a paper, identify challenges in the paper and suggest how they might be addressed. 
• Be constructive: Your comments should help the authors improve their paper, especially junior scholars or doctoral students. 
• Be ethical: If you suspect plagiarism or research fraud, contact the Track Chair. 
• Be objective: If you recognize the author(s) and this is creating a conflict of interest, decline the review or alert the Track Chair. 
• Be on time: Reviews must be completed by 1 September 2025.
