Peer Review Process

Jurnal Arbitrase employs a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality and validity of the manuscripts it publishes. The peer-review process follows these key steps:

  1. Submission and Initial Screening:

    • Authors submit their manuscripts via the journal's online submission system.
    • The editorial office conducts an initial screening to assess the manuscript's adherence to the journal's scope and formatting guidelines.

  2. Editor Assignment:

    • Upon passing the initial screening, the Editor-in-Chief assigns the manuscript to an Associate Editor who specializes in the relevant field of study.

  3. Peer Review Assignment:

    • The Associate Editor selects experts (reviewers) with relevant expertise to conduct a thorough evaluation of the manuscript.
    • Reviewers are typically external to the journal's editorial team and affiliated institutions of the authors to ensure impartiality and objectivity.

  4. Peer Review Process:

    • Reviewers assess the manuscript based on criteria such as originality, significance, methodology, clarity of presentation, and adherence to ethical standards.
    • Reviewers provide constructive feedback and recommendations to help authors improve their manuscripts.

  5. Decision Making:

    • Based on the reviewers' feedback, the Associate Editor makes a recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief regarding the manuscript's suitability for publication.
    • The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision on acceptance, revision, or rejection of the manuscript, considering the reviewers' comments and the manuscript's quality.

  6. Author Notification:

    • Authors receive a decision letter outlining the editorial decision and, if applicable, the required revisions based on reviewers' feedback.
    • Authors are typically given a specific timeline to revise their manuscript in accordance with the reviewers' and editor's comments.

  7. Revision and Resubmission:

    • Authors revise their manuscript based on the feedback received and submit a revised version along with a detailed response to reviewers' comments, addressing each point raised.

  8. Final Decision:

    • The revised manuscript undergoes a final evaluation to ensure that all concerns raised during the review process have been adequately addressed.
    • Upon acceptance, the manuscript moves into the production process for formatting, proofreading, and publication.

  9. Confidentiality and Anonymity:

    • The peer-review process is conducted confidentially to ensure the integrity and impartiality of the evaluation.
    • Reviewers remain anonymous to the authors, and vice versa, to maintain unbiased assessments.
