Peer Review Process

IJCR is an electronic journal published by the Department of Chemistry, Indonesian Islamic University. All manuscripts submitted to this journal (Indonesian Journal of Chemical Research) must follow this journal's Focus and Scope and Author Guidelines.

The submitted manuscripts must be original work, never been published in other journals and not being assessed/considered in other journals. In addition, the manuscripts must contain novelty appropriate to the focus and scope of this journal. All manuscripts submitted to this journal must be written in good English. Authors for whom English is not their native language are encouraged to have their papers checked before submission for grammar and clarity. International Science Editing and Asia Science Editing can provide English language and copyediting services. The work must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

All submitted manuscripts must be free from plagiarism content. All authors suggest using plagiarism detection software to do the similarity checking (please use Turnitin or iThenticate to check the similarity). Editors will also check the similarity of manuscripts in this journal by using Turnitin or iThenticate software.
The submitted manuscripts to this journal will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 (two) or more expert reviewers from Peer-reviewers Team. The reviewers give valuable scientific comments improving the contents of the manuscript. Sometimes (if required), a third peer-reviewer is needed to give critical comments to the submitted manuscript. The review process used in this journal is a blind review system.
Editor solely makes the final decision of manuscript acceptance in Chief/Regional (Handling) Editor (together with Editorial Board if required) according to reviewers' critical comments. The final decision of the manuscript is solely based on the Editor's final review, which considers peer-reviewers comments (but not solely by the Reviewer).
