Jurnal Nasional Teknik Elektro dan Teknologi Informasi aims to publish articles that advance, improve, optimize, and harness technology in ways that have real-world applicability and social impact. To achieve this goal and ensure the scientific integrity of submitted manuscripts, we employ a rigorous screening and peer review process. Submitted manuscripts are assessed based on whether they fit the journal’s focus and scope, have adequate academic quality, provide novelty, and can appeal to the journal’s readership. A double-blind peer review is employed, which means the reviewers remain anonymous to the author(s) throughout and following the review process, whilst the identity of the author(s) is likewise unknown to the reviewers.

A more detailed description of the Jurnal Nasional Teknik Elektro dan Teknologi Informasi editorial process can be found below.

INITIAL SCREENING
A newly submitted manuscript is screened by the Editor-in-Chief for its conformity to Jurnal Nasional Teknik Elektro dan Teknologi Informasi’s basic submission requirements. If the manuscript fails to pass the initial screening, it will be returned to the author(s) without further review.

PLAGIARISM SCREENING
If the manuscript passes initial screening, it will be checked for its similarity to previously published content using Turnitin Similarity. Plagiarism screening takes about two days.

PEER REVIEW
If the manuscript passes plagiarism screening, it is passed on to an editorial board member with relevant experience, who identifies at least two reviewers with sufficient expertise in the field. The manuscript is then anonymized so a double-blind peer review can be carried out, with the peer review process expected to take up to two months.

FIRST DECISION
A decision is only made when at least two review reports have been received. If the reports (and/or reviewers’ recommendations) differ significantly, the Editor-in-Chief will request an additional reviewer to aid them in determining its suitability for publication.

At this stage, a manuscript can either be rejected, require minor or major revision, or be accepted as is. If minor revision is required, the manuscript will be returned to the corresponding author for revision. If major revision is required, the manuscript will also subsequently enter a second round of review. If the manuscript is accepted, it will enter the copyediting stage for final formatting based on Jurnal Nasional Teknik Elektro dan Teknologi Informasi’s author guidelines.

REVISION STAGE
A manuscript that requires revision is returned to the corresponding author, who will have around four weeks to revise the manuscript based on the reviewers’ comments and format the manuscript based on the editorial comments. Following revision, the assigned editorial board member will recommend whether it should be accepted, further revised, or rejected. This recommendation is based on whether the required changes have been made, that they are adequate and appropriate, that the author(s) have responded to the reviewers’ comments and suggestions, and that the author(s) have incorporated the editorial comments.

FINAL DECISION
At this stage, the revised manuscript is either accepted or rejected. The final decision for every manuscript is made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the reviewers’ comments and assigned editorial board member’s recommendations.
