Peer Review Process

Script Screening

The submitted manuscript will be checked by the Editor for a screening process for the elements 1) research weight, 2) plagiarism, and 3) writing suitability. Screening for plagiarism is carried out using the Turnitin application with a maximum limit of 25% similarity. Manuscripts that pass the three screenings will be forwarded to a peer-review process, while manuscripts that do not pass the research weight screening and/or plagiarism screening will be rejected. Editors may decide to reject manuscripts without going through a peer-review process

Peer-review

The Sistem Pendukung Keputusan dengan Aplikasi conducts a peer review process on manuscripts using the double-blind-review method, where the reviewer does not know the identity of the author and the author also does not know the identity of the reviewer. One manuscript is reviewed by at least 2 reviewers. Editors can add reviewers if deemed necessary. The decision on the manuscript is given by the editor by considering the recommendations and suggestions of the reviewers.

Editing

Manuscripts that have been declared accepted are then forwarded to the copyediting process which is carried out by a special editor for copyediting. Copyediting is the process of correcting grammar, writing (typography), and other writing formats in accordance with the Sistem Pendukung Keputusan dengan Aplikasi publishing standards. After this stage, the author is asked to review copyediting and provide corrections (if needed) to manuscripts that have passed the copyediting stage by the editor.

Manuscripts that have passed the copyediting stage will be forwarded to the layout process carried out by the special Layout Editor. The Sistem Pendukung Keputusan dengan Aplikasi uses a special layout for all manuscripts to be published so that an interactive PDF document with a predetermined format is obtained.

Manuscripts in the form of PDF documents that have been completed in the layout will be sent to authors and editors for proofreading. Authors are asked to check the proofreading version of the document and write correction notes on the PDF document. Corrective notes are written using the “highlight” and/or “comment” feature using the Adobe Reader application; Acrobat Reader DC; and its kind. PDF documents that have been completed with correction notes must be sent back to the Editor for the process of improving the final version of the article.

Manuscripts that have been corrected by the Layout Editor based on corrections in the proofreading process by the author will be included in the list of publications at the appropriate Volume and Number. The article will be accessible online if the journal with the volume and number has been published.

The entire review process, including the correspondence between the authors and editors, and reviewers, is carried out through the Sistem Pendukung Keputusan dengan Aplikasi website using the OJS (Open Journal System) platform.
