Peer Review Process

Every article submitted to the Agrintech : Jurnal Teknologi Pangan dan Hasil Pertanian, needs to go through a three-step review process:

Step One:
The editor conducts an initial plagiarism check by Turnitin. Manuscripts with a similarity of 20% and above will automatically be rejected. While plagiarism-free manuscripts or similarities below or equal to 20% will proceed to the research design examination stage. Manuscripts that present a good research design will be directly preceded to the peer-review stage. Meanwhile, manuscripts that do not present a good research design will be rejected immediately.

Step Two:
The editor distributes the manuscripts to the reviewers. The Jurnal Penelitian, Pendidikan dan Pengajaran (JPPP) uses Double-Blind Peer Review. Therefore, before sending to the reviewers, the editor removes the author's identity, such as name, email, and affiliation. Reviewers check the content of the manuscript using the review form provided on the journal website through a special login for reviewers. They provide recommendations on the results of the manuscript to the editor in the type of decision, whether the manuscript is accepted, revised, or rejected, which must be accompanied by the reasons.

Step Three:
The editor sends the results of the reviewer's review to the author. If the manuscript has to be revised, but the author does not revise and provide a response, the manuscript will be rejected. On the other hand, if the manuscript is accepted, the authors must be willing for their article to proceed to the final proofreading stage. If the revised manuscript still contains major revisions, it will be returned to the reviewer; if it contains minor revisions, the editor will check and decide on the final decision. For each decision made, authors are entitled to a clear rationalization.
