Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

Lembaran Masyarakat maintains the standards of peer review while increasing the efficiency of the process. Every manuscript submitted to Lembaran Masyarakat is independently reviewed by at least one reviewer in the form of "blind review". Decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon reviews reports/recommendation. In certain cases, the editor may submit an article for review to another, third reviewer before making a decision, if necessary.
All research articles published in Alqalam undergo full peer review, key characteristics of which are listed below:

1. All research articles are reviewed by expert.
2. All publication decisions are made by the journals’ Editors-in-Chief on the basis of the reviews provided
3. Managing Editors and Editorial Assistants provide the administrative support that allows Lembaran Masyarakat to maintain the integrity of peer review while delivering rapid turnaround and maximum efficiency to authors, reviewers and editors alike.
4. Lembaran Masyarakat additionally benefit through the manuscript referral process from the high quality peer review conducted by established journals.

Lembaran Masyarakat will decide promptly whether to accept, reject, or request revisions of referred papers based on the reviews and editorial insight of the supporting journals. In addition, Editors will have the option of seeking additional reviews when needed. Authors will be advised when Editors decide further review is needed.
