Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

The journal implements the peer review policy to ensure the quality of the publication in the journal. The peer-review process consists of an initial review, a double-blind review, and the decision by the editor.

Initial Review: The editor evaluates the submitted manuscript to determine if the content suits the journal. The manuscript is also subjected to a similarity check procedure using Ithenticate to identify any indication of plagiarism. Manuscripts with contents that are unsuitable for the journal or with a high percentage of similarity (>20%) will be rejected.

Peer Review: Submitted manuscripts that have passed the initial review are subjected to a double-blind review, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous during the review process. A minimum of two reviewers are assigned to evaluate and provide the recommendation for a manuscript. In assigning the reviewers, the editor is responsible for avoiding conflicts of interest during the review process.

Decision: The editor makes the final decision on the acceptability of a manuscript based on the comments and recommendations of the reviewers.
