Peer Review Process
The Peer Review process is a process in which the journal assesses the quality of the manuscript before publication, reviewed by relevant experts in the field to review and comment on the manuscript received. This process aims to help the editor determine whether the manuscript should be published in Jurnal Saintekom : Sains, Teknologi, Komputer dan Manajemen.
Key points in the Peer Review Process:
- Manuscripts submitted to journals first go through an initial screening by the editorial team.
- Type of peer review: reviewers do not know the author's name, and authors do not know who is reviewing their manuscript (Double-blind review).
- Manuscripts that pass screening are sent to two peer reviewers for review.
- The peer reviewers independently make recommendations to the journal editor as to whether the manuscript should be rejected or accepted (with or without revisions).
- The journal editor considers all feedback from the peer reviewers and makes a decision to accept or reject the manuscript.
The Peer Review Process for journal publications is essentially a quality control mechanism, where experts evaluate the manuscript with the aim of ensuring the quality of the published manuscript. However, peer reviewers do not make a decision to accept or reject a paper, but provide a recommended decision. In journals, the decision-making authority lies solely with the journal editor or journal editorial board.
How does it work?
When a manuscript is submitted to a journal, it is assessed to see if it meets the criteria for submission. If it does, the editorial team will select potential peer reviewers in the research field to peer review the manuscript and make recommendations.
