Peer Review Process

1. General Overview of the Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Publikasi Kesehatan Masyarakat Indonesia must adhere to the journal’s Focus and Scope as well as the Author Guidelines. Submitted manuscripts must demonstrate scientific merit and novelty appropriate to the journal’s aims.

Articles are evaluated through single‑blind peer review, in which at least two independent reviewers assess each submission prior to publication. In this model, reviewers remain anonymous, although they may still be able to infer the author’s identity. The Editor‑in‑Chief makes the final decision to accept or reject a manuscript, in consultation with the Editorial Board and based on the reviewers’ recommendations and comments.

Since Volume 9, Issue 1 (2022), Jurnal Publikasi Kesehatan Masyarakat Indonesia has published all its articles in English. Submissions in Bahasa Indonesia after Desember 2021 declined at the initial stage.

All manuscripts must be written in clear, grammatically accurate English. Authors whose first language is not English are encouraged to have their manuscripts reviewed for grammar and clarity before submission.

The final decision regarding manuscript acceptance is made by the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor, taking into account the reviewers’ critical comments. While reviewers’ feedback is essential, the editorial team retains full responsibility for the final decision.

2. Specific Overview of the Peer Review Process

Reviewers are asked to provide detailed and constructive comments. These comments form the basis of the editors’ decision to accept or reject submitted articles. Reviewers should pay attention to the following aspects:

a. Originality and significance

Reviewers should evaluate the originality of the findings presented in the manuscript and consider whether the results have a significant impact on the scientific community. If similar work has already been published, the reviewers may provide suggestions or constructive criticism to improve how the research results are presented.

b. Novelty of the theoretical approach and problem discussion

Reviewers should assess the novelty of the theoretical approach and the way the authors discuss their findings in addressing research problems. This element of novelty is often reflected in the introduction, which highlights the urgency and relevance of the study.

c. Strengths and weaknesses of the methodology

Reviewers are expected to evaluate the appropriateness and rigor of the methods used. Statistical analyses or other analytical techniques that influence the interpretation of results should be critically assessed to ensure the quality of the manuscript.

d. Reliability of results and conclusions

Reviewers should assess the reliability of the research findings and the conclusions. This reliability can be judged by the completeness of the analysis and the robustness of the data presented.

e. Compliance with formatting guidelines

Adherence to the journal’s formatting guidelines facilitates the editorial and production process. While the primary focus of the review should remain on content and scientific quality, reviewers may also comment on formatting issues that require attention.

f. Suggestions and feedback

When errors or shortcomings are identified, reviewers are expected to clearly indicate which sections need improvement and provide constructive recommendations to enhance the overall quality of the manuscript.

3. Confidentiality

Reviewers are requested not to disseminate any manuscripts or research results under review. If you are unable to comply with this policy, we kindly ask that you to inform the Editorial Board so that another reviewer with the appropriate expertise and interest can be assigned.

4. Technical Considerations

Reviewers are expected to submit their evaluations within the deadlines specified by the Editorial Board. If additional time is required, reviewers should notify the Editorial Board as soon as possible. Review reports should be submitted through the journal’s Online Journal System (OJS). In the event of technical difficulties, reviews may alternatively be sent directly to the Editorial Board via email ([email protected] / [email protected]).

Peer Review Process

The reviewer and author are anonymous.

• Author anonymity prevents reviewer bias, for example based on the author's country of origin or previous controversial works.
• Articles written by prestigious or well-known authors are considered based on the content of their papers, not their reputation.
• Reviewers can often identify authors by their writing style, subject matter or self-citation.

For journals that use double blind peer review, the identities of the reviewers and authors are hidden from each other throughout the review. To facilitate this, authors should ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in such a way that they do not reveal their identities to reviewers, either directly or indirectly.

Therefore ensure that the following items are present in your submission and provided as separate files:

1. Title page

The title page will remain separate from the manuscript during the peer review process and will not be sent to reviewers. This should include:

• Manuscript title
• All authors' names and affiliations
• Complete address of the author concerned, including e-mail address
• Thank-you note
• Conflict of interest statement

2. Anonymized manuscript

Please remove identifying information, such as author names or affiliations from your manuscript before submission.

In addition to removing names and affiliations below the title in the manuscript, other steps need to be taken to ensure the manuscript is properly prepared for double blind peer review. The important points to consider are:

• Make sure figures and tables do not contain references to author affiliations.
• Excludes acknowledgments and references to funding sources. Use the title page, which is not sent to reviewers, to detail this and to declare any potential conflict of interest to the Editor.

Author Fees

This journal charges the following author fees.

Manuscript Submission Fee: 0.00 (IDR)

Article Publishing Fee: 1.000.000 (IDR)
