Peer Review Policy

          Publication of articles in Jurnal Ilmu Perilaku 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. Jurnal Ilmu Perilaku acknowledged the effort and suggestions made by its reviewers. 

Initial evaluation of manuscripts

          The Editor will first evaluate all manuscripts submitted. Those that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to experts for review, while rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, or are outside the aims and scope of the Jurnal Ilmu Perilaku. 

Type of peer review

          Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates the already published works, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication.

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 presented and support the conclusions clearly
  • 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. The editor’s decision is final.
