Peer Review Process

Editor in Chief will assign the manuscript to Managing Editor for further handling. All manuscripts are subject to double-blind peer-review, both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process to meet standards of academic excellence. 

Detailed information regarding the manuscript submission process (from author to editor) until it is accepted by the editor is as follows.

In short, the steps are:

1. Manuscript Submission (by author) (route 1). Authors must attach the manuscript in DOC format. Authors must also attach the Turnitin checking results in the supplementary column.
2. Manuscript Check and Selection (by manager and editors) (route 2). Editors have a right to directly accept, reject, or review. Prior to further processing steps, plagiarism check using Turnitin is applied for each manuscript.
3. Manuscript Reviewing Process (by reviewers) (route 3-4)
4. Notification of Manuscript Acceptance, Revision, or Rejection (by editor to author based on reviewers comments) (route 5)
5. Paper Revision (by author)
6. Revision Submission based on Reviewer Suggestion (by author) with the similar flow to point number 1. (route 1)
7. If the reviewer seems to be satisfied with revision, notification for acceptance (by editor). (route 6)
8. Galley proof and publishing process  (route 7 and 8)

The steps point number 1 to 5 are considered as 1 round of the peer-reviewing process (see the grey area in the figure). The editor or editorial board considers the feedback provided by the peer reviewers and arrives at a decision. The following are the most common decisions:

Accepted, as it is. The journal will publish the paper in its original form;

Accepted by Minor Revisions, the journal will publish the paper and asks the author to make small corrections (let authors revised with stipulated time);

Accepted by Major Revisions, the journal will publish the paper provided the authors make the changes suggested by the reviewers and/or editors (let authors revised with stipulated time);

Resubmit (conditional rejection), the journal is willing to reconsider the paper in another round of decision making after the authors make major changes;

Rejected (outright rejection), the journal will not publish the paper or reconsider it even if the authors make major revisions.
