Editorial Decisions
Editorial Decision and Revision Process · Jurnal Penelitian Saintek
From reviews to a reasoned decision.
How editors reach a decision, and how revised manuscripts are assessed.
|
01
The decision
|
After the review, the handling editor weighs the manuscript, the reviews, the answers of the authors, the ethical requirements, and the policies of the journal. The possible decisions are:
— Accept
— Minor revisions
— Major revisions
— Decline
Reviewers advise. The editor is not bound to follow a recommendation if the whole of the evidence points elsewhere. If the reviews differ widely, the editor may invite an additional reviewer or consult another editor, and then gives a reasoned decision.

|
02
Revision
|
— The invitation to revise states the time allowed. An extension may be requested before it ends.
— Authors send the revised manuscript with a point-by-point response to each comment, and mark the changes.
— The editor may check the revision alone, or send it back to the original reviewers, or to new reviewers, depending on the changes.

03
Acceptance
|
A manuscript is accepted only when the editor has confirmed that the review, the ethics requirements, authorship, the disclosures, and the similarity check are complete. After acceptance, the manuscript goes to production and is published online with a DOI.

04
Timetable and records
|
The time limits are in the Peer Review Process. Decision letters and the history of revisions are kept in the journal record.
