Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

Every article submitted to the Journal of Computer Technology, Information, and Information Systems (JUKTISI) will be checked for originality, including similarity (appropriateness limit below 25%), first by the Editor and then forwarded to the Section Editor. The section editor will forward it to the reviewer.

The section editor will forward it to the reviewer.
There are five types of editorial decisions: (1) Articles are accepted, (2) Articles are improved, (3) Articles are submitted and reviewed, (4) Articles are sent to other journals, or (5) Articles are rejected.
The decision to receive the article takes up to 1 month.

The peer review process is the way a journal assesses the quality of a manuscript before publication, with relevant experts in the field reviewing and commenting on the submitted manuscript. This process aims to help the editor determine whether the manuscript should be published in the JUKTISI journal.

Essential points in the Peer Review Process:

The editorial team first screens the manuscript submitted to the journal.
Manuscripts that pass review will be sent to a minimum of two peer reviewers for consideration.
Peer reviewers independently make recommendations to the journal editor on whether a manuscript should be rejected or accepted (with or without revisions).
The journal editor considers all feedback from peer reviewers and decides to accept or reject the manuscript.

The peer review process for journal publication is a quality-control mechanism in which experts evaluate manuscripts to ensure the quality of published works. However, peer reviewers do not decide whether to accept or reject a paper; instead, they provide a recommendation for the decision. In journals, decision-making authority rests solely with the journal editor or the journal's editorial board.

How does it work?

When a manuscript is submitted to a journal, it is evaluated to determine whether it meets the journal's submission criteria. If so, the editorial team will select potential peer reviewers in the field to review the manuscript and provide recommendations. There are four types of peer review used by JUKTISI:

Single-blind: reviewers know the authors' names, but the authors do not know who is reviewing their manuscripts unless the reviewers choose to sign their reports.
Double-blind: reviewers do not know the author's name, and the author does not know who is reviewing their manuscript.

Open peer review: the author knows who the reviewer is, and the reviewer knows who the author is. If the manuscript is accepted, a named review report is published alongside the article.
Transparent: reviewers know the authors' names, but the authors do not know who reviewed their manuscripts unless the reviewers choose to sign their reports. If the manuscript is accepted, the anonymous reviewer reports are published alongside the article.

Why peer review?

Peer review is an integral part of scientific publishing that confirms the validity of manuscripts. A peer reviewer is an expert who volunteers their time to help improve the manuscripts they review.

Peer review steps

Paper Submission
The author submitted the manuscript to the JUKTISI journal. This is usually done thru an online system on the JUKTISI journal website, or the journal can accept submissions via the author's email.

Editorial Team Assessment
The editorial team checks the manuscript to ensure it conforms to the journal's template. The quality of the manuscript is not being assessed at this time.

Assessment by the Editor-in-Chief
The editor-in-chief checks that the manuscript is suitable for the journal, sufficiently original, and interesting. Otherwise, the paper may be rejected without further review.

Peer Reviewer Invitation
The editor sends invitations to individuals who are suitable reviewers.

Response to Invitation
Potential reviewers consider the invitation based on their own expertise, conflicts of interest, and availability. They then accepted or rejected. If possible when rejecting, they suggest an alternative reviewer.

Review Completed
Reviewers take the time to read the manuscript several times to form an initial impression and make notes for a detailed point-by-point review. The review was then submitted to the journal, with a recommendation to accept or reject it, or with a request for revisions before being reconsidered.

Journal Evaluating Reviews
The editor considers all returned reviews before making an overall decision. If the reviews are very different, the editor may invite additional reviewers to get additional opinions before making a decision.

Decision Communicated
The editor sent the decision email to the author, including relevant reviewer comments.

Next Steps

If accepted, the manuscript is sent to production. If rejected or sent back, authors are asked to revise with comments from the reviewers to help them improve their manuscripts. At this stage, reviewers are also emailed to inform them of the author's revision results. If the manuscript is revised again, the reviewers expect a new version of the manuscript. However, if only minor changes are requested, the review is conducted by the editor.
