Peer Review Process

Review Police

All submitted manuscripts are read by the editorial staff. Those manuscripts evaluated by editors as inappropriate for journal criteria are rejected promptly without an external review. Manuscripts evaluated as being of potential interest to our audience are sent to double-blind reviewers. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewer’s recommendation from among several possibilities: rejected, require major revision, need minor revision, or accepted.

The Editor-in-Chief is entitled to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

Review Process

All articles submitted to PADMA EKAPITA will be reviewed in the double-blind review method. Reviewers are unaware of the identity of the authors, and authors are also unaware of the identity of reviewers (double-blind review method). In general, each article will be reviewed by at least two people.

The response of the reviewers will be the basis for the Editor to conclude

- Revisions Required.

- Accept Submission.

- Decline Submission.

An article was rejected for publication due to various considerations, including:

The article does not fit the scope.

The article violates the rules of writing scientific papers and the author's guidelines.
The fundamental methodological errors.
The author refuses to provide suggestions for improvements provided by the reviewer without a logical basis.
There are indications of plagiarism in more than 30%.

Standard Review Process

Editors will email selected reviewers the title and abstract of the submission, as well as an invitation to log onto the journal's website to complete the review. Reviewers enter the journal website to agree to do the review, download submissions, submit their comments, and select a recommendation.
