Peer Review Process
Journal of Soil Science and Environment Jurnal Ilmu Tanah dan Lingkungan upholds a rigorous peer review procedure to ensure the excellence and validity of its published research. This process is a double-blind review, maintaining anonymity for both authors and reviewers. Qualified experts in relevant fields conduct the review, evaluating submissions based on scientific significance, innovation, and alignment with the journal's objectives.
The incoming text will be checked for eligibility by the Chief Editor. Next, the Chief Editor will select an Editor who has an area of expertise following the title of the manuscript that will be reviewed for the prequalification stage of the manuscript. At this stage, the editor responds to the manuscript and provides recommendations that the manuscript is feasible to be reviewed or returned to the author for improvement. The results of the prequalification of the manuscript from the Editor are submitted to the Chief Editor via OJS. If the Editor recommends that the script is suitable for review, the Chief Editor determines at least two reviewers to review the manuscript. However, if the Editor's recommendation is returned to the author for improvement, the Chief Editor asks the author to make improvements before the manuscript is sent to the reviewer.
Reviewers must review the text and return the results of the review to the Chief Editor through OJS as soon as possible, no later than 3 weeks. If one of the reviewers recommend a rejection, then the Chief Editor will ask the Editor's Board to determine the acceptance or rejection of the submitted text.
Manuscripts that need to be revised will be returned to the author, and the author must return the revised manuscript to the Editor via OJS from the Land and Environment Journal no later than 3 weeks. After that, the revised manuscript is sent back to the Editor to check whether the revised manuscript as suggested by the reviewer or not within 2 weeks. If there is still something that needs to be corrected by the reviewer, then the manuscript that has been revised by the author from the Editor is returned to the reviewer. The review and revision process between the reviewer and the writer occurs twice. After that, the review and revision process is carried out between the Editor and Writer which can occur several times until the substance is approved. Next, the manuscript is forwarded to the Technical Editor for display. The Chief Editor will send a letter of acceptance for the manuscript to be published to the author.
