Publication Process involves a desk review, double-blind peer review, revision by the author, and a final decision. JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA will issue the letter of acceptance after the author submits their final revision.

Please be advised that JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA does not have a ‘fast-track’ publication policy or any practice under similar terms which allow authors to publish their manuscript in a relatively short timeframe.

  1. All initial properly formatted manuscripts as required in JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines will be considered by the Editor-in-Chief for their qualities and alignment to the journal’s aims and scope, and then assign the manuscript to one of our editors or associate editors (desk review process)—authors can expect a decision in this initial process within 30 days.
  2. Assigned Editor(s) will select and appoint internal and external reviewers, then supervise the review process (double-blind peer review)—authors can expect this initial phase to be completed within 60 days. Please be advised that this time may vary.
  3. Revision process by the author can be carried out after the manuscript receives feedback/decision from our reviewers and authors sign the author declaration form. Our editors will send this decision to the author(s) alongside a resume of feedback that can guide the revision process.
  4. Final decision (acceptance) will be issued after authors complete the revision which is deemed satisfactory by the editor(s) and our reviewers. By this time, authors will also complete our final administrative requirements (publication agreement and APC payment).
