PEER REVIEW PROCESS

All the review processes are conducted in a double-blind review. The administrator handles all correspondence with the corresponding author. The Administrator sends the manuscript to the chief editor, who identifies the scope of the manuscript and assigns the Technical Editor as a preliminary reviewer. Should any revision be required, the administrator will send it to the corresponding author. Section Editors will evaluate the papers for the suitability of further review process. The Chief Editor and Section Editor assigns two reviewers to review the revised manuscript. The review process can go through several cycles until the manuscript is deemed sufficient scientifically. Once the manuscript passes the review cycle, the final decision for publication comes from the Chief Editor.

There are three steps of the revision process by authors: 1) revision of the manuscripts to accommodate peer reviewers' suggestions within 2-4 weeks; 2) revision to accommodate Section Editors' suggestions within 2-4 weeks (if any), and 3) revision to accommodate editorial meeting suggestions within 2-3 weeks (if any). Manuscripts that exceed the revision deadline will be withdrawn. Authors may request an extension from the Chief Editor before the revision period expires. The time interval from the date the manuscripts are submitted to the acceptance for publication varies, depending on the time required for review and revision.

Manuscripts are rejected usually for 3 general reasons: 1) The topics of the manuscripts do not fit in the journal scope and may be better suited for publication elsewhere. 2) The substance of the manuscripts does not meet Jurnal Gizi dan Pangan (Indonesian Journal of Nutrition and Food) standards; the data may be incomplete; the methodology used is not appropriate; there is a lack of novelties and no advancement of the existing knowledge; or there is no consistency among objectives, research design/method, evidence, and conclusion. 3) The manuscripts are not written in English and not following Jurnal Gizi dan Pangan (Indonesian Journal of Nutrition and Food) guidelines in Instruction to Authors. These manuscripts may be rejected without a review process. Manuscripts can also be rejected in the review process if the authors do not revise the manuscripts as suggested by reviewers and the editorial board or if they do not respond/rebuttal to the suggestions.

If a manuscript is rejected, the Chief Editor will notify the author with a statement of reasons for rejection. The author may appeal to the Chief Editor if he or she believes an unfair judgment has been made, which encloses the author’s reasons. The Chief Editor will review and discuss the reasons with the Section Editor responsible for the manuscript and later decide whether to accept or deny the appeal.
