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

1. Initial Editorial Review
All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial review by the editors to assess their suitability for publication in the Jurnal Gizi dan Dietetik Indonesia. During this stage, the editors evaluate each manuscript based on its alignment with the journal’s focus and scope, the similarity score reported in the Turnitin report submitted by the authors, potential methodological flaws, readability, and compliance with the journal’s manuscript template. Manuscripts that do not meet the journal’s requirements may be rejected at this stage without being sent for peer review.
2. Peer Review
Manuscripts that pass the initial editorial review undergo a rigorous peer-review process involving at least two expert reviewers from the journal’s Peer Review Team. Reviewers provide constructive, evidence-based feedback to improve the scientific quality and overall presentation of the manuscript. When necessary, a third reviewer may be invited to provide an additional assessment. The journal employs a single-blind peer-review system, in which the reviewers’ identities are concealed from the authors.
3. Editorial Decision
The Editor-in-Chief, in consultation with the Regional Editor, Associate Editor, and/or Editorial Board, as appropriate, makes the final decision on the manuscript. This decision takes into consideration the reviewers’ comments and recommendations, as well as the editors’ independent assessment of the manuscript’s scientific merit, originality, and relevance to the journal.
4. Notification of the Editorial Decision
The corresponding author is formally notified of the editorial decision by the editor. Depending on the outcome, the manuscript may be accepted, returned for revision, or rejected. Revised manuscripts may undergo further evaluation by the editors and/or reviewers before a final decision is made.
5. Copyediting and Layout Editing
Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting and layout editing to ensure linguistic accuracy, consistency, and compliance with the journal’s publication standards. The manuscript is then prepared in its final, camera-ready format for publication.
