Peer Review Process
(DLREV) preview process uses a double-blind review system. First, manuscript are read by editorial members (upon the field of specialization) to meet the DLREV's criteria. Then, the manuscript will be sent to at least two anonymous reviewers. Sometimes (if required) a third peer-reviewer is also needed for further recommendation. Reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary actions and responses. Finally, the Editor shall inform the author of the results of the review as soon as possible, hopefully within sixty days.
The final decision of manuscript acceptance is made by Editor in Chief (together with Editorial Board if required) according to reviewers' critical comments. DLREV has four types of decisions:
- Accepted, as it is
- Accepted by Minor Revisions (let authors revised with stipulated time)
- Accepted by Major Revisions (let authors revised with stipulated time)
- Rejected (generally, on grounds of the outside of scope and aim, major technical description problems, lack of clarity of presentation)
In reviewing submitted articles, reviewer will refer to scoring guide given by Editorial Board. Scoring format includes originality of ideas, accuracy of used theories in analysing problems, and writing method. Editor will also run a plagiarism check using Turnitin or Ithenticate for the submitted articles before sending it to the reviewers. If a manuscript has over 20% of similarity, we will send back the article to the author to be revised for the plagiarised contents.
