Peer Review Process
Submitted manuscripts are evaluated by anonymous reviewers through a single-blind peer review for contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation. The editor will notify you of the review results as soon as possible. The peer review process can be seen in Figure 1.
The process can be explained as follows.
- Submitted manuscripts will first be reviewed by the editor. The manuscript will be evaluated using Turnitin to determine whether it aligns with the focus and scope of the LENTERA CENDEKIA Journal of Community Service, whether it has methodological weaknesses, or a high similarity score. The decision for the review process is either to reject or accept.
- The manuscript will be sent to at least two anonymous reviewers (double-blind review). Comments from the reviewers are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary action and feedback.
- Afterward, the editorial team meeting proposes a final decision on the revised manuscript.
- Finally, the editor will send the final decision to the corresponding author.
- The received manuscript then proceeds to the manuscript editing and layout process to prepare the manuscript ready for printing.
