Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

An editor first reviews the submitted manuscript. It will be evaluated in the office to determine whether it suits our focus and scope or has a major methodological flaw. Every submitted manuscript that passes this step will be checked to identify any plagiarism before being reviewed by reviewers. This journal uses a double-masked review. The manuscript will be sent to the reviewer anonymously. Reviewers' comments are also sent anonymously to the corresponding author to take the necessary actions and responses. The decision of the revised manuscript will be made and evaluated in an editorial board meeting, and the reviewer’s recommendation from among several possibilities will be rejected, require major revision, need minor revision, or be accepted. The Editor-in-Chief of Jurnal Tunas Geografi has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure the content's integrity, originality, and quality. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise in the manuscript's subject matter and their ability to provide a fair and objective evaluation. The double-blind peer review ensures that neither the author nor the reviewer knows each other’s identity, minimizing potential bias. The reviewers assess the manuscript for its scientific merit, methodology, relevance to the journal’s focus, and adherence to ethical guidelines. Authors must make revisions based on the reviewer's feedback, and the editorial board makes the final decision after considering all reviewer comments. The Editor-in-Chief holds the final authority regarding the acceptance or rejection of a manuscript based on the reviewer’s recommendations and the overall quality of the paper. This thorough and impartial peer review process aligns with international standards and ensures that only high-quality and ethically sound research is published.
