EDITORIAL PROCESS

Jurnal Ampere follows a structured editorial process to maintain the quality, originality, and relevance of published articles.

1. Manuscript Submission

Authors submit manuscripts through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. Manuscripts must follow the journal's Author Guidelines, manuscript template, Focus and Scope, and publication ethics policies.

2. Initial Editorial Screening

The Editor-in-Chief or an assigned editor checks whether the manuscript:

  • Fits the journal's Focus and Scope;

  • Follows the submission and formatting requirements;

  • Meets basic standards of scientific quality and originality; and

  • Has no obvious ethical concerns.

The manuscript may also undergo a similarity check. Manuscripts that do not meet the requirements may be returned to the authors or rejected before peer review.

3. Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to qualified, independent reviewers. Jurnal Ampere uses a double-blind peer-review process, normally involving at least two reviewers.

Further details are provided on the journal's Peer Review Process page.

4. Revision and Editorial Decision

Authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts based on reviewers' and editors' comments. Revised manuscripts may be sent for further review when necessary.

The editorial decision may be Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject. The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision based on the review results and the journal's editorial policies.

5. Copyediting and Proofreading

Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting, layout editing, and proofreading to check language, formatting, references, and article metadata. Authors may be asked to check the final proof.

6. Publication

After the editorial and production processes are completed, articles are published online in the scheduled issue of Jurnal Ampere. Each published article is assigned a DOI and made available in accordance with the journal's Open Access Policy.

Editorial Integrity

Jurnal Ampere maintains confidentiality and editorial independence throughout the publication process. Editorial decisions are based on academic quality and scientific merit and are not influenced by commercial interests.
