Peer Review Process
Indonesian Journal of Applied Science Innovation Outcomes
Overview
Indonesian Journal of Applied Science Innovation Outcomes (IJASIO) applies a peer-review process to evaluate submitted manuscripts before publication. The process is intended to assess the manuscript's relevance, scholarly quality, methodological soundness, originality, clarity, and contribution to the journal's scope.
Manuscripts are evaluated by qualified reviewers with relevant expertise. Reviewer comments are considered by the editorial team in making decisions regarding revision, acceptance, or rejection.
Principles of Peer Review
IJASIO expects the peer-review process to be conducted objectively, professionally, and confidentially. Reviewers should evaluate manuscripts based on their scholarly content rather than the authors' personal, institutional, or other non-academic characteristics.
- Objective and evidence-based evaluation.
- Confidential handling of manuscripts and review materials.
- Assessment based on academic and scholarly considerations.
- Constructive comments that can help authors improve their manuscripts.
- Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest by reviewers and editors.
