Peer Review Process
The editor will review submitted manuscripts. The editor will decide whether the manuscript is appropriate for the scope and focus and the reviewer. This initial activity usually takes 2-8 weeks.
Submissions that pass the initial review will be assigned to at least two reviewers (double-blind peer review). Based on the review, the editor will first make editorial decisions. There are three possible editorial decisions: (1) the manuscript is accepted, (2) accepted with revision, or (3) rejected. This activity takes 4-12 weeks.
The time to reach a final decision depends on the number of reviews rotated, the perceptive writer, etc. Typically, the time frame of delivery is an average of 2-8 months for a final decision.
The total turnaround time for publishing a manuscript depends (in addition to the abovementioned factors) on the submission date, the journal's publication schedule, the authors' adherence to the publication guidelines, etc. On average, Jurnal Kesehatan reviews and accepts submissions after 2-8 months and then publishes.
