Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to this journal (Voters Engineering) must follow the Focus, Scope, and Author Guidelines of this journal. The submitted manuscript to this journal can be written in Indonesian or English. The work must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. 

All submitted manuscripts must be free from plagiarism contents. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software (Turnitin or other tools) to do the similarity checking.

The submitted manuscripts to this journal will be peer-reviewed by at least two or more expert reviewers from the Peer-Reviewers Team. The reviewers give scientifically valuable comments on improving the contents of the manuscript. The review process used in this journal is a double anonymous peer review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. 4 to 5 weeks will be needed for reviewers to complete one round of the reviewing process. The article review process usually takes an average of 14 weeks. This review period depends on the editors and reviewer's duration in reviewing the manuscript

The editor or editorial board considers the feedback provided by the peer reviewers and arrives at a decision. The following are the most common decisions:

1. Accept without any changes (acceptance): the journal will publish the paper in its original form

2. Accept with minor revisions (acceptance): the journal will publish the paper and ask the author to make small corrections

3. Accept after major revisions (conditional acceptance ): the journal will publish the paper provided the authors make the changes suggested by the reviewers and/or editors

4. Revise and resubmit (conditional rejection): the journal is willing to reconsider the paper in another round of decision-making after the authors make major changes

5. Reject the paper (outright rejection): the journal will not publish the paper or reconsider it even if the authors make major revisions
