Peer Review Policy

Publication of articles in JIP (Jurnal Ilmiah PGMI) is dependent solely on scientific validity and coherence as judged by our editors and/or peer reviewers, who will also assess whether the writing is comprehensible and whether the work represents a useful contribution to the field. JIP (Jurnal Ilmiah PGMI) acknowledged the effort and suggestions made by its reviewers. Each article in our journal is reviewed by an average of two reviewers.

Initial evaluation of manuscripts

The Editor will first evaluate all manuscripts submitted. Although rare, yet it is entirely feasible for an exceptional manuscript to be accepted at this stage. Those rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, or are outside the aims and scope of the JIP (Jurnal Ilmiah PGMI). Those that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to experts for review.

Type of peer review

Review process employs a double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa.

Review reports

Reviewers are asked to evaluate whether the manuscript:

• Is original by stating the objectives and gap clearly
• Is methodologically sound
• Follows appropriate ethical guidelines
• Has results/findings which are clearly presented and support the conclusions
• Correctly references previous relevant work
• Reviewers are not expected to correct or copyedit manuscripts. Language correction is not part of the peer review process.

Decision

Reviewers advise the editor, who is responsible for the final decision to accept or reject the article. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board. Editor’s decision is final.
