Review Process

a) Review Process. After the manuscript is received, similarity checking will be carried out using Turnitin. The tolerance limit of Turnitin is 20%. If the manuscript has less than 20% similarity, it will be sent to the Editor for review. After passing through the terms of writing, it will be sent to the reviewer (double-anonymized review). A minimum of two reviewers will be assigned to each manuscript.

The paper that has been reviewed will be decided on: accepted without changes, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. The average number of weeks between article submission and publication is eight to twelve weeks.

The author is given three weeks to revise for texts received with significant revisions. Meanwhile, one week is allocated for revising manuscripts received with minor revisions. When returning a revised text, the author must fill out and attach a summary review form.
d) Final decision. At this stage, the editor's board will re-evaluate the manuscript to ensure that the authors have revised it in response to reviewers' concerns. However, in this final decision, the manuscript can still be rejected if the writer is not serious about making the necessary revisions.
e) Proofread. After the manuscript is deemed acceptable by the Editor's Board, it will be proofread to maintain linguistic quality.
f) Confirm publication. At this stage, the final layout of the manuscript will be sent back to the author to ensure that the content is by the writer's writing. At this stage, the author can revise the typos found in the final manuscript. After confirmation from the author is given, the Editorial Secretary will process the manuscript for online publication on the website as well as print publications.
