Peer Review Process

 

  1. All manuscripts submitted to this journal must follow the focus, scope, and author guidelines of this journal. The submitted manuscripts must fulfil scientific merit or novelty appropriate to the focus and scope of this journal.

    All manuscripts submitted to this journal must be written in Indonesian. Authors for whom English is not their native language are encouraged to have their paper checked before submission for grammar and clarity. English language and copyediting services can be provided by International Science Editing and Asia Science Editing. The work must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

    All submitted manuscripts must be free from plagiarism. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software to do the similarity checking (please use Turnitin or iThenticate to check the similarity). Editors will also check the similarity of manuscripts in this journal by using Turnitin or iThenticate software.

    The submitted manuscripts to this journal will be peer-reviewed by at least two or more expert reviewers from the Peer-Reviewers Team. The reviewers give scientifically valuable comments on improving the contents of the manuscript. Sometimes, if required, a third peer reviewer is needed to give critical comments to the submitted manuscript. The review process used in this journal is a blind review system.

    The final decision of manuscript acceptance is solely made by the Editor in Chief (together with the Editorial Board if required for consideration) according to reviewers critical comments. The final decision of the manuscript is solely based on the Editor and Editorial Board final review, which considers peer-reviewers comments (but not solely by the reviewer).

    Publication of accepted articles, including assigning the article to a published issue, will be made by the Editor in Chief by considering the sequence of accepted date and geographical distribution of authors as well as thematic issue.
