Manuscript Evaluation Procedures (Prosedur Evaluasi Naskah)

Desk Evaluation (Initial Screening)

This is conducted by the Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor to ensure compliance with the scope, writing format, and originality of the manuscript. Manuscripts that do not comply will be returned for initial revision.

 

Double Blind Peer Review

Every article will be assessed by two (2) independent reviewers using a double blind review system, where the identities of the authors and reviewers are concealed from each other. Reviewers will assess the aspects of originality, methodology, contribution to the field, and soundness of argumentation.

 

Editorial Decision

Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editor will make a decision: Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject. The editor may request additional revisions before the final publication decision.

 

Plagiarism Check

All manuscripts are checked using plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin or iThenticate) with a maximum limit of 20% similarity index.

 

Proofreading & Final Layout

Accepted articles will go through the stages of language editing (proofreading) and layout before being published online.
