Proses Peer Review

The Editor-in-Chief will assign the manuscript to the Managing Editor for further processing. The Managing Editor will ask at least two scientists to review the research article manuscript. All manuscripts are subject to double-blind peer review, and the identities of reviewers and authors are kept confidential throughout the review process to meet academic excellence standards.

Detailed information regarding the manuscript submission (by authors) and acceptance by the editor is shown in the following figure.

In summary, the steps are:

Manuscript Submission (by authors) (path 1)

Manuscript Review and Selection (by managers and editors) (path 2). The editor has the right to immediately accept, reject, or review. Before further processing, each manuscript is subject to a plagiarism check using Turnitin.

Manuscript Review Process (by Reviewers) (paths 3-4)

Notification of Manuscript Acceptance, Revision, or Rejection (by the editor to the author based on the reviewer's comments) (path 5)

Paper Revision (by the author)

Submission of Revisions Based on Reviewer Suggestions (by the author) with the same flow as point 1. (path 1)

If the reviewer appears satisfied with the revision, a notification of acceptance (by the editor) is issued. (path 6)

Proofing and Publishing Galley Process (paths 7 and 8)

Steps 1 through 5 are considered one round of the peer-review process (see the gray area in the figure). The editor or editorial board considers the feedback provided by the peer reviewers and makes a decision. The following are the most common decisions:

Accepted as is. The journal will publish the paper in its original form;

Accepted with Minor Revisions. The journal will publish the paper and ask the author to make minor corrections (allowing the author to revise within the specified timeframe); Accepted with Major Revisions: The journal will publish the paper provided the author makes the changes suggested by the reviewers and/or editor (allowing the author to revise within a specified timeframe);

Resubmit (conditional rejection): The journal is willing to reconsider the paper in the next decision-making round after the author makes major changes;

Rejected (outright rejection): The journal will not publish the paper or reconsider it even if the author makes major revisions.
