Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

Jurnal Analis Medika Biosains (JAMBS) is the newest journal that concerns on health issues in Indonesia. It is published by Analyst Departement, Poltekkes Kemenkes Mataram. The research article submitted to this online journal will be reviewed by the reviewers who are competent in their field. In order to keep the objectivity during the process of review, double-blind peer review policy is applied. The language used in this journal is Indonesia. 

Initial screening

A newly submitted manuscript will be screened by the Editor-in-Chief for its conformity to JAMBS scope and basic submission requirements.

Peer-review

If the manuscript passes the initial screening stage, it will be assigned to a handling editor, who will then send it to at least two experts in the relevant field to undergo a double-blind peer-review. Manuscripts that fail to pass the initial screening will be rejected without further review.

First decision

A decision on a peer-reviewed manuscript will only be made upon the receipt of at least two review reports. In cases where reports differ significantly, the handling editor will invite an additional reviewer to get a third opinion before making a decision. At this stage, a manuscript can either be rejected, asked for revisions (minor or major), accepted as is, or (if significant changes to the language or content are required) recommended for resubmission for a second review process. If it is accepted, the manuscript will be returned to the submitting author for formatting. The final decision to accept the manuscript will be made by the Editor-in-Chief based on the recommendation of the handling editor and following approval by the board of editors.

Revision stage

A manuscript that requires revisions will be returned to the submitting author, who will have up to three weeks to format and revise the manuscript, following which it will be reviewed by the handling editor. The handling editor will determine whether the changes are adequate and appropriate, as well as whether the author(s) sufficiently responded to the reviewers' comments and suggestions. If the revisions are deemed to be inadequate, this cycle will be repeated (the manuscript will be returned to the submitting author once more for further revision).

Final decision

At this stage, the revised manuscript will either be accepted or rejected. This decision is dependent whether the handling editor finds the manuscript to have been improved to a level worthy of publication. If the author(s) are unable to make the required changes or have done so to a degree below JAMBS standards, the manuscript will be rejected.
