Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to this journal must adhere to the journal's Focus, Scope, and Author Guidelines. Submitted manuscripts must demonstrate scientific merit and novelty consistent with the journal's focus and scope. Manuscripts submitted to this journal can be written in good English or Indonesian. Authors whose native language is not English are encouraged to review their manuscripts before submission to ensure grammar and clarity. The work must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors may recommend potential reviewers when submitting the manuscript (Comments to the Editor) or in a cover letter.

All submitted manuscripts must be free of plagiarism. All authors are encouraged to use plagiarism detection software to check for similarity (please use Turnitin or iThenticate for similarity checks). The editor will also check manuscripts in this journal for similarity using Turnitin or iThenticate software. Manuscripts submitted to this journal will be reviewed by at least two (2) expert reviewers. Reviewers provide valuable scientific comments, improving the content of manuscripts. Occasionally (if necessary), a third peer reviewer may provide critical comments on submitted manuscripts. The review process used in this journal is a double-blind review system.

The final decision on manuscript acceptance is made entirely by the Editor-in-Chief/Regional Editor (in-Charge) (in conjunction with the Editorial Board, if necessary) based on the reviewers' critical comments. The final decision on manuscript acceptance is based entirely on the Editor's final review, which takes into account the comments from the peer reviewers (but not solely the reviewers). The Editor-in-Chief will publish accepted articles, including assigning articles to published issues, taking into account the order of receipt, the geographical distribution of authors, and the issue's theme.
