Peer Review Process
Journal of Agroecotechnology Innovation (JIA)

The Journal of Agroecotechnology Innovation applies a peer review process to ensure scientific quality and publication integrity. Each submitted manuscript undergoes several stages of evaluation before publication.

The peer review process includes the following stages:

  1. Initial editorial screening
    The editor conducts an initial evaluation of submitted manuscripts. The assessment includes the relevance of the topic to the journal’s focus and scope, the completeness of the manuscript structure, and compliance with the journal’s author guidelines.

  2. Similarity check
    The manuscript is screened using plagiarism detection software. The editor ensures that the similarity level meets the acceptable standards of scientific publication.

  3. Reviewer assignment
    Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to at least two reviewers who have expertise relevant to the manuscript topic. The journal applies a double blind peer review system. The identities of authors and reviewers remain anonymous during the review process.

    Reviewers evaluate the scientific quality of the manuscript. The evaluation includes research novelty, clarity of research objectives, appropriateness of methodology, validity of data analysis, and the contribution of the research findings to agricultural science.

    Reviewers provide recommendations to the editor with several possible decisions. Accept without revision. Accept with minor revision. Accept with major revision. Reject.

  6. Editorial decision
    The editor considers all reviewer comments and recommendations before making a decision regarding the manuscript. The editor may request revisions before the article is accepted for publication.

  7. Revision process
