Peer Review Process

Peer reviewers and the editorial board assess manuscripts to be published in the Jurnal Geografi. The entire review process is carried out as a double-blind review. The Editor-in-Chief and editorial board handle all correspondence with authors and decide whether the paper is recommended for acceptance, rejection, or needs to be returned to the author for revision (reviewers' comments are also sent anonymously to the corresponding author to take necessary action and response).

The peer review process is carried out by internal journals (Editor in Chief and Editorial Board) and external journals (reviewers according to the field of science). The Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board will evaluate manuscripts submitted at the prequalification stage for suitability for further review processes. Every submitted manuscript that passes this step will be checked to identify plagiarism before being reviewed further by the reviewer. Two qualified peer reviewers selected by the Editor-in-Chief or editorial board will evaluate manuscripts. Peer reviewers should check the manuscript and return it with their recommendations to the Editor-in-Chief as soon as possible (Journal of Geography gives four weeks). The Editor-in-Chief decides whether to accept or reject the manuscript.

Manuscripts that require revision will be returned to the author, and the author must return the revised manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief via OJS Jurnal Geografi. The Editor-in-Chief sends the revised manuscript to the Editorial Board to check whether the manuscript is revised according to the suggestions of the peer reviewers. The Editorial Board can recommend to the Editor-in-Chief that the manuscript be returned to the author, accepted, or rejected within two weeks. Finally, the decision to revise the manuscript will be evaluated in an editorial board meeting based on the reviewer's recommendations from several possibilities: rejected, requires major revisions, requires minor revisions, or accepted. The Editor-in-Chief will send an acceptance letter announcing the issue of publication accompanied by a reprint of the manuscript to the author.
