Peer Review Policy
SOCIA enforces a double-anonymous Peer Review policy. The identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed throughout the review process. Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent subject matter experts.
- Editors first review the submitted manuscript, called the initial review by the editors. It will be desk-evaluated whether the submitted manuscript is suitable for SOCIA: Jurnal Ilmu-Ilmu Sosial based on focus and scope, similarity score using Anti-Plagiarism Software, methodological flaws, article readability, and adherence to the submitted paper template.
- Furthermore, the manuscript will be sent to at least two anonymous reviewers (double-anonymous peer review).
- The anonymous reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary actions and responses. Afterwards, the editorial team meeting suggested the final decision on the revised manuscript to the authors.
- Finally, the Editor will send the final decision to the corresponding author.
- The accepted manuscript then continued to the copyediting and layout editing process to prepare the camera-ready paper.
Publication of review reports. Review reports are anonymous and are shared with the authors and, without identifying information, with other reviewers of the same manuscript. They are not published with the article.
