Peer Review Process
The manuscript revie process in Jurnal Hukum Mimbar Justitia (JHMJ) uses a double-blind review system:
-
Each article submitted to the editorial office will be selected through an Initial Review process by the Editorial Board in accordance with the field of specialization to ensure that it meets the JHMJ criteria.
-
Manuscripts will be sent to two anonymous reviewers. If required, a third reviewer may be involved for further recommendations. Comments from the reviewers will then be forwarded to the corresponding author for follow-up.
-
The Editor-in-Chief will notify the authors as soon as possible, hopefully within four weeks.The final decision on acceptance of the manuscript is made by the Editor-in-Chief (together with the Editorial Board if necessary) based on the critical comments of the reviewers. JHMJ has four types of decisions:
-
Accepted, as is;
-
Accepted with Minor Revisions (let the writer revise with a specified time);
-
Accepted with Major Revisions (let the writer revise within the specified time);
-
Rejected (generally, for reasons beyond scope and purpose, major technical description issues, lack of clarity of presentation).
In reviewing the submitted articles, reviewers will refer to the assessment guidelines provided by the Editorial Board. The assessment format includes the originality of the idea, the accuracy of the theory used in analyzing the problem, and the writing method. The editor will also check for plagiarism using Turnitin or Ithenticate for incoming articles before they are sent to reviewers. If a manuscript has more than 20% similarity, we will send the article back to the author for revision of the plagiarized content.
