Peer Review Process

Publication of articles in Journal Sajak depends on scientific validity and coherence assessed by our editors and/or peer reviewers, including an assessment of the article's contribution to the audience. Jurnal Sajak recognizes the efforts and suggestions made by its reviewers.

Initial Evaluation of Manuscripts

The editors will first evaluate all submitted manuscripts within 3 weeks. Although rare, it is feasible for an exceptional manuscript to be accepted at this stage. Those rejected at this stage are not original enough, have serious scientific flaws, or are outside the purpose and scope of the journal. Those that meet the minimum criteria are forwarded to expert reviewers for review. This usually takes a maximum of 8 weeks. Manuscripts are published at least 8 weeks after being reviewed by two reviewers.

Types of Peer Review

Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates published work, and whether or not it is clear enough to be published.

Decision

Reviewers advise the editor, who is responsible for the final decision to accept or reject the article. The editor will make a decision based on this report and some decisions are also made in consultation with members of the Editorial Board. The editor's decision is final.
