Peer Review Process

Articles sent to Indomath will pass two stages of review, namely pre-review and substance review. Article pre-review was carried out by the editor to see the suitability of the article with the focus and scope of the journal as well as the style of confinement. An examination of the element of plagiarism is done through a search on Google Scholar, Plagiarism Checker-X Pro, Turnitin or Ithenticate. The duration of the pre-review is between 1-2 weeks. At least two reviewers conducted substance review in a single-blind manner. The duration of the review is between 4-5 weeks. If desired, the reviewer can request a review after the author has revised the article.

Decisions for publication, amendments or rejections are base on reviewers' reports or recommendations. There are four types of editor decisions based on reviewers' recommendations, namely:

  1. Accept Submission: Submissions will be accepted without revision.
  2. Revisions Required: Submissions will be accepted after a small change has been made. Articles sent back to the author for revisions must be returned to the editor without delay. Revised articles returned more than 20 days will be considered as new shipments. Revised articles can be sent to the editorial via the Online Submission Interface.
  3. Resubmit for Review: Submission must be reworked, but with significant changes, it can be accepted. Will need a second round review.
