Publication of articles in Jurnal Andalas: Rekayasa dan Penerapan Teknologi (JARPeT) is dependent solely on scientific validity and coherence as judged by our editors and peer reviewers, who will also assess whether the writing is comprehensible and whether the work represents a valuable contribution to the field. JARPeT acknowledged the effort and suggestions made by its reviewers. 

Peer review

Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two or more experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates the already published works, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication.

The review process of the manuscript at JARPeT is conducted using a blind review process, i.e. authors do not know the reviewers of their paper.

Review reports

Reviewers are asked to evaluate whether the manuscript:

• It is original by stating the objectives and gap clearly
• Is methodologically sound
• Has results/findings which are presented and support the conclusions
• Correctly references previous relevant work.
• Reviewers are not expected to correct or copyedit manuscripts. Language correction is not part of the peer review process.

Decision

Reviewers advise the Editor about the submission recommendation from the following options: Accept, Revisions Required, Resubmit for Review, Resubmit Elsewhere and Decline Submission. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports, and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board. The Editor's decision is final. The difference between the revision required option and resubmit for review option is that after the author uploads the revised paper, the Editor only reviews it further for the possibility of revision needed. While for the choice of resubmitting for review, the previous reviewers will do the next round of review.
