Peer Reviewer Process
The peer review process is carried out to ensure the quality and substance of articles in published journals. This process is an objective process carried out by all scientific journals. Reviewers and Editors at the JELP Journal have an important role to ensure the continuity of this process with the following procedures:
Initial Evaluation. The Editor conducts an initial evaluation of all newly submitted articles. At this stage, the Editor checks the scope of the journal, plagiarism, and writing rules. Articles that are still far from the initial provisions may be rejected at this stage. Articles that pass the check will be sent to the Reviewer.
Peer Review Type. JELP applies a double-blind review, meaning the author does not know who is reviewing and vice versa. This is done to maintain objectivity.
Reviewer Plotting. The assignment of a Reviewer to an article is based on the Reviewer's field of expertise.
Reviewer Report. The Reviewer is assigned to provide feedback/review of the article by considering originality, structure and flow of the writing, code of ethics for scientific writing, ownership of clear results that support what is concluded, references to related previous research. Grammar correction is not part of this process, but Reviewers are not prohibited from correcting grammar.
Review Process Duration. The length of the review process depends on the response given by each Reviewer. JELP implements a policy of giving a total of three (3) weeks to Reviewers from the time they are assigned. Reviewer duties may be transferred if they do not respond within one to three weeks. Reviewers can provide recommendations in the form of Accepted Article (ACCEPTED), Revised Article (REVISION), or Rejected Article (REJECTED). If there is a revision, the author will receive a notification to make a revision, which is sent along with the Reviewer's comments via email. The results of the revision will be checked again to ensure that the Reviewer's notes have been implemented properly.
Final Report. The final report or decision in the form of Article accepted or Article rejected will be sent to the author which may also contain some comments from the Reviewer or Editor.
Final Evaluation. Before the article is published, the editor may send a request for corrections to the grammar or images used in the article.
