All manuscrips submitted to this journal must be written in Indonesia or English. The work must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. 

The maximum similarity of submitted manuscripts is 20%. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection softaware to check similarity results (please use Turnitin or iThenticate). Editors will also check the similarity of manuscripts in this journal by using a Turnitin or iThenticate software. 

The review process used in this journal is double blind review system, in which case neither authors nor reviewers know each other’s identities. The submitted manuscripts to this journal will be peer-reviewed at least 2 (two) or more expert reviewers from Peer-Reviewers Team. The reviewers give scientific valuable comments improving the contents of the manuscript. Sometimes (if required) a third peer-reviewer is needed to suggest critical comments to the submitted manuscript.

The reviewers will provide the following recommendations:
1. Accepted (the manuscript is acceptable for publication);
2. Accepted with minor revisions (the manuscript is acceptable for publication after it undergoes a revision in response to the reviewers’ concerns);
3. Accepted with major revisions (substantive inadequacies in the manuscript, such as data analysis, the main theory used, and rewriting of paragraphs, need to be revised); or
4. Rejected (the manuscript is not acceptable for publication, or the given reviews relate to fundamental issues).

The final decision of manuscript acceptance is solely decided by the Editorial Board by taking into account reviewers' comments. However, the Editorial Board cannot unilaterally make a decision without the recommendation from reviewers.

Publication of accepted articles including the assigning the article to published issue will be made by Editor in Chief by considering sequence of accepted date and geographical distribution of authors as well as thematic issue. Due to a very high number of manuscripts submitted to this journal, we usually need at least 8 weeks from the date of submission to publication.
