Peer Review Process

Determination of the article published in the Journal of Accounting and Investment (JAI) is carried out through double-blind peer-review by considering two main aspects: relevance and contribution of articles on the accounting and investment theory and practical development. The double-blind peer-review process is adopted to ensure that the manuscript selection is carried out fairly. Editors and reviewers would provide constructive feedback on the manuscript evaluation results to the author(s). The detailed review process is explained as the following:

  1. The submission is only processed online via JAI's OJS.
  2. All submitted manuscripts are read by JAI Editor in Chief initially for desk evaluation (Points 2 and 3). In this stage, the submitted manuscript would be checked to whether it complies with JAI author guidelines and template for submission, also whether the manuscript matches current JAI's focus and scope. If appropriate, the next process would be carried out, and if not, we would reject the manuscript so that it could be submitted to another journal.
  3. The submitted manuscript would be checked with Turnitin (similarity check). If the similarity level is more than 40%, the manuscripts would be rejected promptly without substantive review (see JAI plagiarism policy). The submitted manuscripts that passed this stage would be sent to a suitable editor.
  4. The submitted manuscript would be reviewed by the assigned editor to find out whether it contributes sufficiently to the development of science and practice in accounting and investment. Manuscripts with insignificant novelty are rejected in this stage. While the manuscript that qualifies would be proceeded to the substantive review stage by peer reviewers.
  5. Once the substantive review process is finished, the JAI Editor in Chief then make a decision based on the assigned editor's and peer reviewers' recommendation with several decision possibilities as the following: (1) rejected = the manuscript is not considered for publication in JAI due to several reasons such as the manuscript has no significant novelty and contribution, the manuscript has been prepared poorly, a very similar study was found, etc.; (2) accepted with major revision = the manuscript requires substantial revisions before publication. It might associate with the state of the art, novelty, significance of the study, methodology, etc. The editor would give four to 12 weeks to complete the revisions; (3) accepted with minor revision = the manuscript needs few revisions but not substantial prior to publication. Usually, it relates to JAI author guidelines compliance. The editor would give one to four weeks to complete the revisions; (4) accepted without revision = the manuscript would be published without revisions. However, proofreading of the manuscript still would be conducted.
  6. The submitted manuscript that is accepted with revisions (minor or major) would get comments (feedback) from the editor and peer reviewers and would be returned to the author(s) for revisions.
  7. The author(s) is/are given a certain time to complete manuscript revisions following the manuscript's status, i.e. accepted with minor revision or accepted with major revision (refer to explanation about decision possibilities above). Extra time to complete the revisions should be asked to the JAI Editor in Chief via email (jai@umy.ac.id). If the author(s) does/do not submit the revised manuscript until the due date and no notification is sent to the JAI editor, the author(s) is/are deemed to resign. It is important to note that revisions submissions should be accompanied by Author(s) responses form that can be downloaded here.
  8. The manuscript that has gone through final revisions and got acceptance would be published in the JAI in the edition determined by the JAI Editor in Chief. The author(s) might ask the Editor in Chief if he/she/they prefer(s) to publish his/her/their article in specific editions (volume and number). For this purpose, the author(s) must submit the request to the JAI Editor in Chief via email (jai@umy.ac.id).

NOTES:

  • The manuscript review process for desk evaluation (points 2 and 3) takes one-week maximum. The manuscript that passes this stage can be seen from its status in OJS that changes from "Awaiting Assignment" to "In Review". Meanwhile, substantive review usually takes four to eight weeks (point 4). The length of review time depends on the length of time the editor and peer reviewers in completing their works. If the author(s) does/do not get confirmation from the JAI for a long time, the author(s) can confirm by email at jai@umy.ac.id or hafiez.sofyani@umy.ac.id. 
  • The day to the publication of a manuscript in JAI is around 85 days (almost three months) for 2020 (see detail). However, this time estimation might be changed due to certain circumstances.
  • The manuscript comes from JAI affiliated conference still has to follow this review process policy to ensure the manuscript's content quality.
