Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process
Every article that goes to the editorial staff will be selected through Initial Review processes by the Editorial Board. Then, the articles will be sent to the Mitra Bestari/ peer reviewer and will go to the next selection by Double Blind Preview Process. After that, the articles will be returned to the authors to revise. These processes take a month for a maximum time. In each Manuscript, Mitra Bebestari/peer reviewer will be rated from the substantial and technical aspects.

All submitted manuscripts are evaluated by the editorial staff. Those Manuscripts evaluated by editors to be inappropriate to journal criteria are rejected promptly without external review. Manuscripts evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to double-blind reviewers. The editors then decide based on the reviewer's recommendation from among several possibilities: reject, revision required, or accepted.

The editor has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published. Review Process:

1. An author submits the Manuscript
2. Editor Evaluation (some manuscripts are rejected or returned before the review process)
3. Double Bind peer review process
4. Editor Decision
5. Confirmation to the author
