Peer-Review Process

All articles submitted to JASF (Journal of Accounting and Strategic Finance) will be reviewed in the double-blind review method. Reviewers are unaware of the authors' identities, and authors are also unaware of the reviewers' identities (double-blind review method). In general, each article will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.

Articles submitted to JASF  will be processed first through the Editor's Evaluation. Only articles that fit within the scope of the JASF and comply with instructions to the authors will be further reviewed. Editor's evaluation can take up to 1 month.

After the Editor's Evaluation, the author must revise the manuscript according to the editor's suggestions. After that, the revised article will be reviewed. The review process can take from 1 to 3 months. However, the reviewers will have 4 weeks to review. When the Reviewer's report has been completed, and the author revises the manuscript, he/she will be notified of the Editor's decision to publish in JASF and any necessary modifications.

The response of the reviewers will be the basis for the Editor to conclude:
1. Revisions Required
2. Accept Submission
3. Decline Submission

Articles that have passed the review process and are accepted will be published in one of the JASF editions. However, the Editor-in-Chief has the final say and, in his/her sole discretion, can decide which papers to publish or not to publish.

An article was rejected for publication due to various considerations, including:

  1. The article does not fit the scope
  2. The article does not follow the rules of writing scientific papers / does not follow the author's guidelines or the JASF template
  3. The fundamental methodological errors
  4. The author refuses to implement the reviewer's suggestion for improvement without a logical basis.
  5. There are indications of plagiarism of more than 30%

The article review process usually takes 4 to 16 weeks. This review period depends on the editors' and reviewers' duration in reviewing the manuscript. If the author does not get confirmation from JASF for a long time, the author can confirm by email at jasf.editor@upnjatim.ac.id.
