Jurnal Riset Akuakultur
Peer Review Process
A clear account of editorial screening, expert assessment, revision, and publication.
Review model
JRA uses double-blind peer review. The journal’s submission guidance describes assessment by at least one Editorial Board member and one external reviewer after a manuscript passes initial screening. Author-identifying material should be supplied separately from the review manuscript.
From submission to publication
Submission & completeness
The editorial office checks the files, required declarations, formatting, and fit with the journal’s focus and scope.
Initial editorial screening
Editors assess scientific relevance, research content, and originality, including similarity screening.
Expert review
An Editorial Board member and an external reviewer assess the manuscript and provide recommendations through OJS.
Revision & response
Authors address the comments and submit a revised manuscript with a clear, point-by-point response. Further assessment may be needed.
Editorial decision
The Editor-in-Chief considers the reviews and editorial discussion in reaching an acceptance or rejection decision.
Production & proofing
Accepted work is checked again for similarity, then proceeds through copyediting, layout, and author/editor proofreading before publication.
What participants should expect
For authors
Prepare a review copy without author names or identifying acknowledgements. Review the metadata and uploaded files carefully. Respond to each substantive comment and explain any disagreement with evidence. A request for revision does not guarantee acceptance.
For reviewers
Accept an invitation only when you can provide a competent and timely assessment. Keep the manuscript confidential, disclose relevant relationships, and distinguish major scientific concerns from suggestions for presentation. Report suspected ethical issues privately to the editor.
Decisions, timing & questions
Review duration depends on editorial screening, reviewer availability, and the extent of revision. This page does not promise a fixed decision time. Use OJS to follow the submission and contact the editorial office with the manuscript ID when clarification is needed.
