6. Post-Submission: Review and Decision

Jurnal Ekonomi KIAT uses a double-blind peer-review process. Each manuscript first undergoes editorial screening to assess its relevance to the journal's scope, compliance with submission requirements, originality, and overall suitability for review.

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are normally sent to at least two independent reviewers. The identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential during the review process, subject to the journal's procedures.

Reviewers assess manuscripts based on originality, significance, methodological rigor, quality of analysis, relevance, and clarity. Their recommendations may include acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. Authors asked to revise their manuscripts should submit a revised version and a point-by-point response explaining how each comment has been addressed.

The Editor-in-Chief makes the final editorial decision, taking into account reviewer reports, editorial assessment, and the manuscript's contribution to the field. Submissions involving plagiarism or other research or publication misconduct may be rejected or handled under the journal's publication ethics procedures.

7. If Your Paper Is Accepted

After acceptance, the manuscript proceeds to copyediting, typesetting, and proofreading. Authors may be asked to check the proofs and correct typographical or production errors. Substantive changes at this stage may require editorial approval.

Following completion of the production process, the article is published online and assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), where applicable. Authors should carefully check the final proofs and ensure that names, affiliations, references, tables, and figures are accurate.

Jurnal Ekonomi KIAT operates under a Platinum Open Access model. Readers can access published articles without subscription fees or paywalls, and authors are not charged submission or publication fees, in accordance with the journal's stated policy.
