Editorial Process

All manuscripts submitted to Jurnal JARTEL must align with the journal’s aims and scope and adhere strictly to the Author Guidelines. Submissions are expected to demonstrate scientific merit, originality, and novelty relevant to the field of telecommunication and related disciplines. Manuscripts that do not conform to the journal’s thematic focus or formatting requirements may be desk-rejected by the Editor-in-Chief. Additionally, all forms of plagiarism are strictly prohibited.

Plagiarism Screening

Authors are strongly encouraged to utilize plagiarism detection tools to assess textual similarity prior to submission. The editorial team employs Turnitin software to screen all manuscripts for potential plagiarism before they proceed to the peer-review stage.

Peer-Review Process

All research articles submitted to Jurnal JARTEL undergo a blind peer-review process. In this system, the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential to ensure an objective and unbiased evaluation. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant field.

Reviewers are expected to provide constructive and scientifically valuable feedback aimed at enhancing the quality, clarity, and rigor of the manuscript. Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the Editor, on behalf of the Editorial Board, makes the final decision regarding the manuscript’s suitability for publication.

Publication Order

Accepted manuscripts are published in the order of their acceptance, while also considering factors such as the geographical diversity of contributors and the thematic relevance to specific journal issues.

Review Timeline

The peer-review process is typically completed within 2–4 weeks, although this period may vary depending on reviewer availability and the complexity of the manuscript.

Editorial Decisions

Following the peer-review process, the Editor will make one of the following final decisions:

1. Reject

The manuscript is deemed unsuitable for publication in Jurnal JARTEL. Rejected manuscripts will not be published, and authors are not permitted to resubmit a revised version to the journal.

2. Resubmit Elsewhere

The manuscript is not aligned with the journal’s aims and scope. Authors are advised to submit their work to a more appropriate journal.

3. Resubmit for Review (Major Revisions)

The manuscript shows potential but requires substantial revisions. After revision, the manuscript will undergo a second round of peer review before a final decision is made.

4. Revisions Required (Minor Revisions)

The manuscript is acceptable for publication subject to minor revisions. The revised version will be evaluated by the Editor to ensure that all requested changes have been adequately addressed before final acceptance.

5. Accept

The manuscript is accepted for publication in its current form, requiring no further modifications.

Post-Decision Process

After the editorial decision, authors will receive all relevant reviewer comments and editorial feedback. For manuscripts requiring revisions (major or minor), authors are expected to submit the revised and final version within two weeks of receiving the decision. Failure to comply with this timeframe may result in delays or withdrawal of the manuscript from the publication process
