Editorial Appeals

Editorial Appeals  ·  Jurnal Penelitian Humaniora
A fair route to ask for another look.
When and how an author can appeal against an editorial decision.
01
When you may appeal
An author may appeal against a decision on one of these grounds: a factual error, a misunderstanding, or a procedural irregularity. Disagreement with the outcome alone is not enough.
02
How
1.  Write to the Editor-in-Chief within 30 days of the decision, at humaniora@uny.ac.id.
2.  Give the manuscript ID, the decision, the specific grounds, and the evidence for them. Respond to the reviewers’ points one by one.
3.  Normally one appeal is considered for each manuscript, unless significant new information appears.
03
How it is handled
—  The appeal is considered by an editor who was not involved in the original decision.
—  The person who made the original decision does not decide the appeal.
—  The outcome may be to uphold the decision, to seek an additional review, to send the manuscript back to review, or to change the decision.
—  The editors tell the author the outcome in writing. The outcome is final within the normal process of the journal.

Appeals and complaints
An appeal concerns a decision on a manuscript. A complaint concerns the conduct or the processes of the journal. See Complaints Policy.
