Peer Review Process

The peer review process for the Jurnal Gizi dan Dietetik Indonesia (Indonesian Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics) is as follows:

1. Initial Submission Stage (Submission & Initial Decision)

  • The author submits the manuscript (Submission received) and receives a formal acknowledgement (Submission confirmation).
  • The editor conducts an initial screening based on template compliance as well as the journal's focus and scope to determine whether the manuscript is eligible for peer review (Proceed to review?). This editorial assignment process typically takes between 1 day and 2 weeks.
  • If No, the manuscript is rejected outright (Reject).
  • If Yes, the manuscript proceeds to the peer review stage.

2. Peer Review Stage

  • The manuscript undergoes a single-blind peer review process (Ensured single-blind review).
  • The editor assigns reviewers (Sent to reviewers), secures their consent (Review agreement), and awaits the completion of the review (Reviews finished). This stage takes between 3 days and 8 weeks.
  • The editor evaluates the review outcomes (Accept submission?):
    • If No, the manuscript is rejected (Reject).
    • If Yes, it advances to the revision assessment stage (Need a Revision?).

3. Revision and Re-evaluation Stage

  • No Revision Required (No): The manuscript is directly accepted (Accept), and a Final Decision Notification is issued.
  • Revision Required (Yes):
    • Minor or Major Revisions: The author is given 2 weeks to 1 month to complete the revisions. Once the revised manuscript is received (Revision Received) and assessed (Revision Assessed), the editor verifies whether the author has addressed the reviewers' comments (Follows the review comments?). If Yes, the manuscript is accepted (Accept); if No, it is rejected (Reject).
    • Resubmit for Review: The author is given 1 to 2 months to revise and resubmit. After the revised manuscript is received and assessed, the editor determines if it satisfies the reviewers' feedback. If Yes, the manuscript re-enters the review pipeline (Reviewers assigned); if No, it is rejected (Reject).

4. Final Stage (Final Outcome)

The entire process concludes with a Final Decision Notification, resulting in either the acceptance (Accept) or rejection (Reject) of the manuscript.
