Peer Review Process
All submitted article will be independently reviewed by at least two appointed reviewers, using form of "double-blind review". This reviewing process usually takes 6-8 weeks from the date of submission. Results of this reviewing process will be categorized into three groups: (1) accepted with minor or without revision; (2) accepted with major revision; and (3) rejected. All articles with major revision will be sent back to authors to be revised within three weeks from the date when editor sent it back to the authors. In making final decision process, the third reviewer could be appointed, if necessary.
As clearly stated on the author guidelines, our reviewers will be focusing on the detailed following points:
- Did your abstract consist of the purposes of the research article, present an overview of the experimental results and describe the significance of the results and their impact on the field of study in general?
- Has your introduction already provided a brief overview of the literature relating to the research topic, been written descriptively to introduce the reader to the field of the problem under investigation in general, and questioned the research topic that will be answered by a study and how to do it?
- Did the research method contain a direct description of the methods used in a study, the statement of the materials, the main procedures, the techniques, and the analysis techniques?
- Has the author(s) presented the results to the reader clearly, discussed them with theory and literature already chosen, reflected the research results to give meaning to the reader or provided guidance for further research?
- Did your conclusion contain a summary of the research findings, followed by the main points of the discussion and ended with a statement about how the research work contributes to the field of study and its limits as well.
- Are the references cited in the text more than 30 references, using The American Sociological Association 6th Edition Style, and referring to management systems such as Mendeley, EndNote, and Zotero?
