The journal publishes five articles per issue and is released twice a year, in June and December. The journal's primary goal is to foster global cooperation by providing a platform for presenting diverse perspectives on sustainability challenges. The Corporate Social Responsibility Review aims to create a broad, trans-disciplinary, and intercultural dialogue on the role of business law in society while also developing sound academic concepts and empirical data that can generate value for business law and society.

Peer-review policy 

The process of peer review is a crucial step in assessing the quality of a manuscript before it gets published. In this process, independent researchers who are experts in the relevant research area evaluate the submitted manuscript for originality, validity, and significance. Their evaluations assist the editors in deciding whether the manuscript is fit for publication in the journal.

At the Corporate Social Responsibility Review, we follow a double-masked peer-review system. In this system, the reviewers are provided with anonymous manuscripts. They do not know the names or affiliations of the authors, and the reviewer reports provided to the authors are also anonymous.

Upon submission, each manuscript is generally reviewed by two to three experts who evaluate its scientific soundness, coherence, originality, and potential for publication. The reviewers also provide a rating for the research's level of interest and significance. The Editors use these reports to decide whether the manuscript is suitable for publication, and when necessary, they consult with the Editorial Board members.

In summary, our peer-review system ensures that the submitted manuscripts undergo rigorous and impartial evaluation to maintain high standards of quality and originality in our journal.
