Peer Review Process

Every article that goes to the editorial staff will be selected through Initial Review processes by Chief Editor. The Editorial Team has the right to reject articles that do not meet the scope of this journal. Every article will be checked for plagiarism by using Turnitin. Then, the article will be going through Double Blind Peer Review in order to check for the scientific merit and the contribution of submitted articles. The reviewers are expected to give valuable comment to improve the quality of the article submitted

After getting feedback from two reviewers, the editor will make a publication decision. The review process is expected to take 1 to 2 weeks, but it may take longer depending on the number of articles currently being reviewed. There are 4 categories of decisions:

  1. Accept Submission: The accepted article will be published in the current form
  2. Revisions Required: The article needs to be re-worked with minor changes
  3. Resubmit for review: The article needs to be re-worked with major changes and the author has a chance to resubmit the article by repeating the submission process
  4. Rejected: The article is rejected, and the author could not resubmit the revised version of the article to the Saintara: Jurnal Ilmiah Ilmu-Ilmu Maritim

All articles published in Open Access will be immediately and permanently free for everyone to read and download.
