Review Process

Flow for Reviewing manuscripts

At least three peer reviewers independently review every submitted paper. The decision for publication, Accept, Revise, and rejection is based upon their reports/recommendations and made by Editor. All reviewer comments will be sent to the author as a basis for decision-making. In detail, the review process is as follows:

1. Editors first review the submitted manuscript, called the initial review by the editors. Then, it will be desk evaluated whether the submitted manuscript is suitable for the PENITI-BANGSA based on focus and scope, similarity score by using Crosscheck-iThenticate, methodological flaw, readability of the articles, and adhering to the submitted paper template.
2. The manuscript will be sent to at least three anonymous reviewers(Double-Blind Peer-Review).
3. The anonymous reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary actions and responses. Afterward, the editorial team meeting suggested the authors' final decision on the revised manuscript.
4. Finally, the Editor will send the final decision to the corresponding author.
5. The accepted manuscript continued with copyediting and layout editing to prepare the camera-ready paper.
