Peer Review Process

SisInfo: Jurnal Sistem Informasi dan Informatika applies a double-blind peer-review process to ensure the objectivity, fairness, and quality of published articles. The peer-review process follows these policies:

Authors must ensure that their manuscripts and supplementary files do not disclose their identities to reviewers. Reviewers must also maintain the confidentiality of the manuscripts and the review process.

  3. Reviewer Assignment: Each manuscript that passes the initial screening is evaluated by reviewer with relevant expertise in the subject area of the submitted manuscript.

  4. Review Criteria: Reviewers evaluate the manuscript’s originality, novelty, relevance, scientific contribution, title, abstract, methodology, results and discussion, and conclusions. They also assess the quality of the references, the validity of the findings, and compliance with publication ethics. Plagiarism and other potential ethical concerns may be examined by the editorial team using appropriate screening procedures.

  5. Reviewer Recommendations: Reviewers provide constructive comments and recommendations to the editor. The possible recommendations are accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject. The final decision is made by the editor based on the reviewers’ comments, the quality of the manuscript, and the journal’s editorial policies.

  6. Revision and Final Decision: When revisions are requested, authors must revise their manuscripts in response to the reviewers’ comments and submit the revised version within the deadline specified by the editorial team. Revised manuscripts may be returned to the reviewers for further evaluation before the editor makes the final decision.

  7. Confidentiality and Objectivity: Reviewers must assess manuscripts objectively, provide clear and constructive feedback, disclose any potential conflicts of interest, and not use unpublished information from the manuscripts for personal or professional advantage.
