Peer Review Proces

All manuscripts submitted to the Jurnal Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (JUTIKOM) undergo a rigorous peer-review process using a double-blind review system. This process is conducted to ensure the quality, originality, and scientific relevance of the published works. The stages of the review process are as follows:

1. Initial Screening

Each submitted manuscript is initially reviewed by the editorial team to ensure its conformity with the journal’s aims and scope, compliance with the author guidelines, and fulfillment of basic academic standards. In addition, plagiarism checking is conducted, and the similarity index must not exceed 25%.

2. Double-Blind Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to two external reviewers with relevant expertise. In this process, the identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed (double-blind) to maintain objectivity and prevent potential conflicts of interest.

3. Evaluation Criteria

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on the following aspects:

  • Relevance of the topic to JUTIKOM’s scope

  • Originality and scientific contribution

  • Clarity of objectives and arguments

  • Strength of methodology and data analysis

  • Coherence of structure and language quality

  • Accuracy and completeness of references

4. Review Decision

Based on the reviewers’ evaluations, the editorial team will make one of the following decisions:

  • Accepted without revision

  • Accepted with minor revisions

  • Major revisions required and resubmission

  • Rejected

5. Revision Process by Authors

Authors who are requested to revise their manuscripts must provide detailed responses to each reviewer comment and submit the revised version within the specified timeframe. In some cases, revised manuscripts may be returned to the reviewers for further evaluation.

6. Final Publication Decision

The final decision on manuscript acceptance is made by the Editor-in-Chief, taking into account the reviewers’ recommendations and the final quality of the revised manuscript. This decision is final and will be communicated to the corresponding author.

7. Publication Ethics and Integrity

JUTIKOM is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in scholarly publishing. Reviewers are expected to maintain the confidentiality of reviewed documents, provide honest and constructive feedback, and avoid any conflicts of interest throughout the review process.
