PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Journal of Indonesian Society Empowerment (JISE) applies a thorough double-blind peer review process to every manuscript submitted for consideration. In this process, neither the reviewers nor the authors know each other's identities, to ensure an "unbiased" review. Once a manuscript is received, it is first assessed by the Editor for conformity with JISE's guidelines and scope. If deemed appropriate, the manuscript is then submitted to qualified reviewers from the pool of reviewers registered with JISE.

This review process usually lasts for 4 to 8 weeks, during which each reviewer is given a maximum of 14 working days to complete their evaluation. If a reviewer is unable to meet this deadline, the Editorial Board Chair will immediately appoint an alternate reviewer to avoid delays.

Peer reviewers are tasked with evaluating the manuscript for coherence and harmony between the title, abstract, introduction, discussion (results), and conclusion. In addition, they also assess the novelty of the manuscript, scientific impact, methodological rigor, and the quality and relevance of the references cited.

Assessment Process:

  1. Authors submit the manuscript through the JISE submission system.
  2. Editors evaluate the manuscript for suitability. Manuscripts that do not meet the standards may be rejected or returned to the author for modification before proceeding to review.
  3. Manuscripts undergo a double-blind review process to ensure impartiality.
  4. Based on the feedback from the reviewers, the Editor makes a decision: Accept Submission, Required Revisions, Resubmit for Review, or Reject Submission.
  5. The Editor sends the decision and reviewers' comments to the author, including instructions for necessary revisions.

The final decision on acceptance of the article is made by the Editor, taking into account the detailed comments and recommendations provided by the reviewers. The order of publication for accepted articles is determined by the Editor-in-Chief, taking into account factors such as date of receipt and geographical distribution of authors to ensure balanced and inclusive representation.
