Peer Review Process

Jurnal ISIP: Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik  maintains the standards of peer review while increasing the efficiency of the process. Every article that goes to the chief editor will be sent to the section editor through the Initial Review processes to check the technical aspects. Then, the articles will be sent to at least two peer reviewers to get the Double-Blind Peer Review Process. The peer reviewers will rate each manuscript on the substantial aspects. Each reviewer is required to recommend an initial decision by selecting the option below:

• Accept Submission: the manuscript meets the standard and is ready for further process of publication.
• Revisions Required: Minor revision (can be re-reviewed by the referee or accepted by the editor).
• Resubmit for Review: Major revision (need more round peer-review process)
• Resubmit Elsewhere: It does not seem like a fit for the focus and journal scope.
• Decline or Reject Submission: Reject the submission due to many weaknesses and out-of-journal standards.

Then, if there are revisions, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision. All these processes take 4 (four) months. The peer reviewers have expertise in  Communication, Politics, International Relations, Social Welfare, and Business Administration They were also experienced in prestigious journal management, and publication spread nationally and abroad. All publication decisions are made by the journals’ Editors-in-Chief based on the reviews and peer-reviewers recommendations provided. Jurnal Kajian Komunikasi will publish the selected papers under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
