Peer Review Process

  • Jurnal Hukum and Peradilan (JHP) uses an online submission and double-blind review system for the work process. This double-blind approach makes it possible for authors and reviewers not to know each other. Submissions and peer reviews of each article are managed using this system and are assessed on the basis of the peer review policy established by JHP.
  • Submission is made by means of the Online Journal System (OJS). Each author will receive an online confirmation of the submission immediately after the submission has been completed entirely and correctly. The submitted paper will first be handled by the Managing Editor to ensure that the paper complies with the guidelines set out by JHP. Inappropriate paper will be rejected without further revision. In general, the papers were rejected because of (1) the incompatibility of the subjects with the scope of the journal, and (2) being not prepared in accordance with the JHP guidelines. Rejection information will be notified to the author within 1 week after the submission.
  • The selected paper will be assessed and evaluated by the Managing Editor and the Chief Editor. The evaluation will be carried out by considering the substance of the paper to meet the JHP standards, in terms of the consistency between objectives, research methods, evidence, references, conclusions, completeness of the data, accuracy of the methodology, novelty, contribution and impact on existing knowledge.
  • The paper will be forwarded to the Section Editor to organize and pick the reviewers who are part of the JHP Reviewer Board. At this stage, the editor will test plagiarism using Grammarly, with a tolerance limit of 20%. It is possible for the Section Editor to notify the author of minor errors due to the wrong format, typo, or wrong citation style. After that, the paper will be returned to the author for modification. The author is required to return the corrected paper to the editor within a maximum of 1 week.
  • After the paper is selected, at least two reviewers who are part of the JHP Reviewer Board will review it. The selection of reviewers considers the balance of reviews by legal experts and academics who have published their papers in reputable international journals to receive feedback in the form of content comments and suggestions for improvement. Reviewers will be given 2 weeks to return the findings of the review with status either accepted, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejection.
  • As soon as the paper gets the results of the review and recommendations, the Editor will send the paper to the corresponding author.  For articles with a status of "rejected," there is no option for revise.  In the case of "major revision," the author will be given a maximum of 1 month to make revision and resubmit the paper again for review from the beginning.  Meanwhile, for "minor revision," time for revision is given for a maximum of 2 weeks.  Revisions may include suggestions for proofreading by natives or experts to ensure language quality.  The author is required to revise the paper as suggested by reviewers and the editorial board, as well as provide feedback on the suggestion point by point.  The author can request an extension of time to complete the revision if necessary.  Authors who do not respond or fail to submit revisions within the allotted time are deemed withdrawn from publication.
  • The editor will check the results of the revised paper to ensure that all comments and responses to the review have been met, and send the revision to the reviewer for checking.  Reviewers will be given 3 days for "minor revision" to assess the suitability of the correction with the review's results. The "major revision" will take 1 week in this case.  Reviewers can make further comments if needed.  The author must complete the revision within 1 week.  This review process may repeatedly occur, depending on the comments of the reviewer and author feedback.  The review process is considered complete if the reviewer has entirely agreed to the revision.
  • The final decision of the paper rests with the Chief Editor.  Paper approved for publication will be submitted to the production team for further processing. The author will get a galley proof from the production team to ensure and finalize the content.  At this stage, the author will sign the Copyright Notice and is not allowed for further revision.  Authors who do not provide feedback on galley proof within the allotted time are considered to approve the version for publication.

The manuscript should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced. The primary literature should be cited where possible.

It is also expected that the author will not publish redundant manuscripts or manuscripts describing same research in more than one journal.

Multiple publications arising from a single research project should be clearly identified as such and the primary publication should be referenced

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. Others who have made significant contribution must be listed as co-authors. In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgment section. Authors also ensure that all the authors have seen and agreed to the submitted version of the manuscript and their inclusion of names as co-authors.

  2. Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers must ensure that authors have acknowledged all sources of data used in the research. Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. The reviewers should notify the journal immediately if they come across any irregularities, have concerns about ethical aspects of the work, are aware of substantial similarity between the manuscript and a concurrent submission to another journal or a published article, or suspect that misconduct may have occurred during either the research or the writing and submission of the manuscript; reviewers should, however, keep their concerns confidential and not personally investigate further unless the journal asks for further information or advice.
  3. Standards of Objectivity: Review of submitted manuscripts must be done objectively and the reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments. The reviewers should follow journals’ instructions on the specific feedback that is required of them and unless there are good reasons not to. The reviewers should be constructive in their reviews and provide feedback that will help the authors to improve their manuscript.

  4. Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.  Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers. In the case of double-blind review, if they suspect the identity of the author(s) notify the journal if this knowledge raises any potential conflict of interest.
  5. Promptness: The reviewers should respond in a reasonable time-frame.
