The evaluation of manuscript suitability for publication in Media Konservasi involves a double blind review process conducted by peer reviewers. The Editor-in-Chief manages communication with the authors and makes the final decision on acceptance, rejection, or the need for revision. The average number of weeks between article submission & publication is 24 weeks.

Submission Requirements:

1. Authors must adhere to the Submission Preparation Checklist, including attaching the Author Statement Form and following the specified manuscript format (Article Template) outlined by Media Konservasi when submitting their manuscripts.

2. After passing administrative screening, Editor-in-Chief conduct a prequalification review to assess the papers' suitability for further evaluation.

3. Manuscripts may be rejected without review if they fall into one of three categories:
- The topic doesn't align with Media Konservasi's scope.
- The content doesn't meet standards or lacks novelty, advancement, or consistency.
- Manuscripts don't adhere to Media Konservasi guidelines in the Instruction to Authors.

4. Minimum of two qualified peer reviewers, selected by Editor-in-Chief and Section Editors, assess manuscripts that meet prequalification requirements.

5. Peer reviewers provide recommendations within three weeks, and conflicting recommendations prompt Editor-in-Chief to seek a third reviewer or Board Editors' decision.

6. Papers requiring revision are returned to authors, who must submit revised manuscripts within three weeks via Media Konservasi's OJS platform.

7. Revised manuscripts, upon peer reviewer request, undergo re-examination within three weeks of the review request acceptance.

8. Editor-in-Chief forwards revised manuscripts to Section Editors to ensure compliance with peer reviewers' suggestions.

9. Section Editors recommend returning to authors, acceptance, or rejection within two weeks.

10. Manuscripts may be rejected if authors fail to revise as suggested by reviewers or Editorial Board, or if there is inadequate response to suggestions.

11. Editor-in-Chief notifies authors of rejection, allowing appeals. Appeals are reviewed by Editor-in-Chief and relevant Section Editor, with a final decision made.

12. Upon Editor-in-Chiefs' acceptance, authors pay the Article Processing Charge (APC). The manuscript undergoes copyediting and layout before an acceptance letter is sent, announcing the publication issue.
