Peer Review Process

Jurnal Manajerial: Manajemen dan Sistem Informasi employs a peer review process to ensure the scholarly quality, originality, relevance, and integrity of every published article. The review process is conducted objectively, independently, transparently, and in accordance with the ethical principles of scholarly publishing. The journal adopts a double-anonymous peer review system, in which the identities of authors are not disclosed to reviewers and the identities of reviewers are not disclosed to authors throughout the review process.

1. Reviewer Qualifications and Appointment

Reviewers are selected by the editors based on the relevance of their academic expertise and research interests to the manuscript, their scholarly publication records, and their competence in evaluating methodological rigor and scholarly contributions. Reviewers are expected to demonstrate independence and academic integrity and to have no conflicts of interest that could compromise the objectivity of their assessments. Each manuscript that meets the journal's initial screening requirements is evaluated by at least two competent reviewers whose expertise is relevant to the subject matter of the article.

2. Peer Review Procedures

All papers are fully peer-reviewed. We only publish articles that have been reviewed and approved by highly qualified researchers with expertise in a field appropriate (at least two reviewers per article). We used blind peer-reviewing process. Detailed information about the flow for the manuscript submission (author) to the acceptance by editor is shown in the following figure.

In short, the steps are:

Manuscript Submission (by author) (route 1)

Manuscript Check and Selection (by manager and editors) (route 2). Editors have a right to directly accept, reject, or review. Prior to further processing steps, plagiarism check using turtitin is applied for each manuscript.

Manuscript Reviewing Process (by reviewers) (route 3-4)

Notification of Manuscript Acceptance, Revision, or Rejection (by editor to author based on reviewers comments) (route 5)

Paper Revision (by author)

Revision Submission based on Reviewer Suggestion (by author) with similar flow to point number 1. (route 1)

If reviewer seems to be satisfied with revision, notification for acceptance (by editor). (route 6)

Galley proof and publishing process  (route 7 and 8)

The steps point number 1 to 5 is considered as 1 round of peer-reviewing process (see grey area in the figure). And, our reviewing process at least goes through 2 round of reviewing process. 

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

(i)   accept without any changes (acceptance): the journal will publish the paper in its original form

(ii)  accept with minor revisions (acceptance): the journal will publish the paper and asks the author to make small corrections

(iii) 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

(iv)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

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

3. Conflicts of Interest and Confidentiality

Reviewers must disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including professional relationships, research collaborations, financial interests, or personal relationships that could affect the objectivity of their assessments. Reviewers with conflicts of interest that cannot be adequately managed will not be assigned to the relevant manuscripts. Editors must likewise refrain from participating in editorial decisions when conflicts of interest arise and delegate the handling of the manuscripts to another independent editor.

All manuscripts, data, and communications exchanged during the review process are confidential and may only be used for editorial evaluation. Reviewers and editors must not disclose or use unpublished materials for their own benefit or for the benefit of others.

4. Editorial Decisions and Publication

Editorial decisions are based on the scholarly quality of the manuscript, peer review reports, the adequacy of revisions, relevance to the journal's focus and scope, and compliance with publication ethics. Reviewer recommendations are an important consideration; however, the final decision rests with the authorized editor.

A manuscript is considered accepted only after the editor has issued a final acceptance decision. A Letter of Acceptance (LoA) is issued only after the final acceptance decision has been formally made. Acceptance does not guarantee immediate publication, as the article must still meet the journal's applicable editorial, technical, and production requirements.

5. Integrity of the Review Process

Jurnal Manajerial is committed to safeguarding the independence and integrity of its peer review process. Any suspected ethical misconduct, manipulation of the review process, or undisclosed conflict of interest will be handled in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policies. All parties involved are expected to uphold professionalism, objectivity, confidentiality, and academic responsibility throughout the editorial process.

Estimated Review Timelines

The journal strives to conduct the review process in a timely manner without compromising the rigor and quality of scholarly evaluation. Initial editorial screening is targeted for completion within [5–7 working days] of manuscript submission. External peer review is targeted for completion within [2–4 weeks] after reviewers accept the invitation. The time required for author revisions depends on the extent of the requested changes, while subsequent reviews and final editorial decisions depend on the complexity of the manuscript and the completeness of the authors' responses.

These timelines serve as operational guidelines and may vary when additional reviewers are required, extensions are granted, or substantial revisions are necessary. Authors may monitor the progress of their manuscripts through the journal's editorial management system or contact the editorial office through the journal's official communication channels.

Plagiarism Screening

All manuscripts submitted for publication undergo a text similarity check as part of the initial screening process to safeguard originality and academic integrity. The screening is conducted using plagiarism detection or similarity-checking software to identify textual similarities with previously published works and other sources available in the screening database.

The manuscript similarity index must not exceed 20%. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected, depending on the editor’s assessment. Nevertheless, the similarity percentage is not the sole basis for editorial decisions. Editors also evaluate the sources of similarity, the context in which the text is used, the accuracy of citations and references, and any indications of plagiarism or other publication ethics violations.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts constitute original work, that all sources used are properly cited, and that no third-party work is used without appropriate acknowledgment. Editorial decisions concerning similarity screening are made following a comprehensive assessment of the manuscript, with due regard to the principles of academic honesty and scholarly publication integrity.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Policy

Jurnal Manajerial: Manajemen dan Sistem Informasi recognizes that artificial intelligence (AI), including generative AI and large language models (LLMs), can support research and scholarly writing. However, the use of such technologies must be responsible, transparent, and consistent with the principles of academic integrity, originality, accountability, and publication ethics.

This policy applies to all authors, editors, reviewers, and other parties involved in the editorial and publication process. The use of AI does not transfer academic responsibility from humans to technology. All parties remain accountable for the accuracy, originality, confidentiality, and integrity of materials generated, assisted, or processed using AI.

1. Use of AI by Authors

Authors may use AI tools to support specific tasks in manuscript preparation, such as language editing, grammar correction, readability improvement, idea development, or other technical assistance, provided that such use does not replace the authors' intellectual contributions or academic responsibilities.

Any substantive use of AI in drafting text, developing ideas, analyzing data, interpreting findings, generating images or illustrations, or preparing other components of scholarly work must be transparently disclosed. The disclosure should identify the AI tool or system used, the purpose of its use, and the relevant part or stage of the work that was assisted. The use of AI for data analysis, image generation, or methodological procedures should be described in the relevant Methods section. AI assistance in writing may be disclosed in the Acknowledgments section or a dedicated AI-use statement, as appropriate to the manuscript and the journal's submission guidelines.

Authors are responsible for reviewing and validating all AI-generated output before incorporating it into their manuscripts. This includes verifying factual accuracy, analytical validity, interpretation, originality, and the completeness of references. Authors must ensure that all cited sources exist and are relevant, all quotations are properly attributed, and the manuscript contains no plagiarism or misleading information.

AI tools must not be listed as authors or co-authors because they cannot assume responsibility for the content and integrity of scholarly work. Full responsibility for the manuscript remains with the human authors.

2. Use of AI by Reviewers

Reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of manuscripts, data, and all information obtained during peer review. Reviewers must not upload or enter unpublished manuscripts, review reports, or other confidential materials into external AI tools that do not ensure adequate confidentiality and data security.

Reviewers must not delegate substantive manuscript evaluation to AI, including asking AI to replace their critical assessment of an article's novelty, methodology, findings, interpretation, or scholarly contribution. Reviewer assessments and recommendations must be based on the reviewers' expertise, academic judgment, and independent evaluation.

Reviewers remain fully responsible for the content, objectivity, and quality of the reports submitted to the editor. If the use of AI to support review-related tasks is considered in exceptional circumstances, prior written authorization from the editor must be obtained. Such use must not compromise manuscript confidentiality or violate the journal's data protection policies.

3. Use of AI by Editors

Editors are responsible for ensuring that all editorial decisions are based on scholarly judgment, peer review reports, journal policies, and the ethical standards of scholarly publishing. AI must not replace the editor's professional judgment or serve as the sole basis for accepting, revising, or rejecting a manuscript.

Editors must not upload unpublished manuscripts, reviewer reports, editorial correspondence, or other confidential information to external AI tools that do not ensure confidentiality and data security. The use of AI to evaluate manuscript content or formulate editorial decisions in place of the editor's independent judgment is not permitted.

Editors must protect the identities of authors and reviewers and ensure that all editorial decisions remain independent, fair, transparent, and accountable.

4. Use of AI in Images, Data, and References

Authors must ensure that all images, illustrations, tables, data, and references presented in their manuscripts are accurate, defensible, and not misleading. The use of AI to generate or modify images, illustrations, or visual materials relevant to the scholarly content must be clearly disclosed. Such use must not involve fabricating, manipulating, or misrepresenting research evidence.

AI must not be used to fabricate research data, empirical findings, quotations, DOIs, or fictitious references presented as genuine. Authors must verify every reference against reliable sources and ensure that each citation supports the statement for which it is provided. AI-generated material cannot replace relevant and verifiable primary scholarly sources.

5. Disclosure of AI Use

Authors must disclose substantive use of AI in manuscript preparation at the time of submission. The statement must identify the AI tool used and explain its purpose. If no AI was used in preparing the substantive content of the manuscript, authors may state that there is no AI use to disclose under this policy.

Routine use of language assistance tools for spelling or basic grammar correction does not necessarily require a separate disclosure, unless required by the journal's guidelines or the use extends beyond ordinary mechanical editing.

Disclosure of AI use does not relieve authors of responsibility for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and ethical compliance of their submitted work.

6. Violations and Follow-up Actions

Failure to disclose AI use when required, the use of AI to fabricate or manipulate data and references, breaches of manuscript confidentiality, and misuse of AI in peer review or editorial decision-making may be addressed in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policies.

Actions may include requests for clarification, revision or correction, manuscript rejection, discontinuation of the editorial process, or other proportionate measures based on the nature and severity of the violation. Allegations will be assessed objectively, taking into account the available evidence, explanations from the parties concerned, and principles of procedural fairness.

AI-detection tools alone do not constitute definitive evidence of misconduct and must not serve as the sole basis for rejecting a manuscript. Decisions must be based on careful editorial assessment and relevant evidence.

7. Responsibilities and Policy Review

All authors, reviewers, and editors are required to understand and comply with this policy. Jurnal Manajerial may periodically review and update its AI-use policy in response to technological developments, scholarly publication ethics standards, and international publishing best practices.

In all circumstances, ultimate responsibility for research integrity, manuscript content, peer review, and editorial decisions remains with the humans performing their respective roles.

Allegations of Research Misconduct

Manajerial: Journal of Management and Information Systems is committed to upholding research integrity and publication ethics. All allegations of research misconduct relating to submitted manuscripts or published articles will be treated seriously and handled objectively, fairly, and confidentially, taking into account the circumstances of each case and the principles of scholarly publication ethics.

Potential forms of misconduct include, but are not limited to, data fabrication, data falsification, plagiarism, manipulation of images or research results, unjustified duplicate publication, violations of research ethics, and other practices that may compromise the reliability or integrity of the scholarly record.

Reports of suspected misconduct should include sufficient relevant information or supporting evidence and be submitted to the editorial team through the journal’s official communication channels. The editor will conduct an initial assessment to determine whether further investigation is warranted. Where necessary, the editor may request clarification from the authors and relevant parties, examine supporting documents or evidence, and consult reviewers, the authors’ affiliated institutions, or other appropriate parties.

All parties involved will be given a fair opportunity to provide relevant information or clarification. An allegation will not be treated as an established finding of misconduct before the available evidence has been assessed. Investigations will be conducted with due regard to confidentiality, the avoidance of conflicts of interest, and the requirement that editorial decisions be based on evidence and objective professional judgment.

Where misconduct is substantiated or a concern is identified that significantly affects the integrity of a manuscript or published article, the journal may take proportionate action, including requesting manuscript revisions, rejecting a manuscript, suspending the publication process, issuing a correction, or retracting a published article. Where appropriate, the journal may also contact the relevant institution to seek clarification or further action within its remit.

Manajerial seeks to ensure that all allegations are handled consistently, transparently, and responsibly, while maintaining fairness to all parties. This policy aims to protect research integrity, maintain readers’ trust, and preserve the credibility of scholarly publishing.
