Peer Review Process
Peer-Review Process
Editor-in-Chief The Prosecutor Law Review will assign the manuscript to Managing Editor for further handling. The Managing Editor have a right to directly accept, reject, or review according to the standard set up by The Prosecutor Law Review. Prior to further processing steps, a plagiarism check using Turnitin is applied for each manuscript. Then, the Managing Editor will request at least two scientists to review the research article manuscript. To uphold rigorous academic standards, all submitted manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process. This means that the identities of both the reviewers and authors are kept confidential from each other throughout the review process.
The results of the review will provide consideration to decide whether the manuscripts should be accepted, revised, or rejected. The aspects that will be assessed by the reviewers are the originality of the articles, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field.
