Peer Review Process

Seluruh paper yang terbit harus melalui proses review oleh para peneliti yang memiliki pengalaman di bidangnya. Proses review dilakukan oleh dua orang yang tidak dikenal oleh penulis paper. Paper yang dikirim ke reviewer akan diriview secara individual dan hasilnya akan dikirim ke editor. Rekomendasi dari reviewer dapat dalam bentuk diterima, diterima dengan perbaikan, atau ditolak. Untuk paper yang telah direvisi akan dikirim kembali kepada reviewer yang sebelumnya telah mereview papaer tersebut. Selanjutnya, seluruh paper yang telah diterima akan diseleksi oleh penyunting pelaksana untuk diterbitkan.

Each manuscript is firstly blind reviewed by at least two peer reviewers. By being blind reviewed, the reviewers do not know who is being partnered by whom and who the author of the manuscript is from as no names will be mentioned. If both reviewers accept the author's manuscript then the journal staff will process it further to be included in the list of manuscripts for publication. If one of the reviewer decides not to accept it, then the staff journal will find another reviewer to evaluate it. If the new reviewer also decides not to accept the manuscript then the journal staff has the right to send a letter of rejection to the author of the manuscript.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.

Promptness
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
