Peer Review Process
Peer review is encouraged to ensure only good science is published. It is an objective way to ensure good scientific publications. Our reviewers play an important role in maintaining JIKAP's standards.
Preliminary evaluation of the manuscript
All submitted manuscripts are first checked by one of the editors-in-chief. It should consist of the original text, the results of the plagiarism check, and the manuscript self-assessment form. Those meeting the minimum requirements are typically submitted to at least one expert for evaluation.
Type of peer review
JIKAP uses a "single-blind" review. In this case, the reviewer remains anonymous to the author throughout and after the review process, but the identity of the author is also unknown to the reviewer.
Judges are chosen in this way
Where possible, evaluators were matched to jobs based on their skills. Our expert database is constantly updated, so we welcome suggestions from authors, even if non-binding recommendations are not used.
Reported by the referee
Reviewers were asked to evaluate manuscripts as follows:
• Original ideas and methods
• Methodologically sound
• Results are clearly presented and conclusions supported
• Accurately and comprehensively correspond to previous related work
• Adherence to appropriate ethical guidelines, especially regarding plagiarism although language corrections are not part of the peer review process, reviewers are encouraged to suggest language and stylistic corrections to the manuscript. In the final round, editors check for linguistic and stylistic correctness and can suggest or make corrections during this phase. In rare cases, manuscripts may be returned to authors for complete language and stylistic corrections.
How long does the verification process take?
The duration of the review process depends on the reviewer's response. At JIKAP, the duration of the first round of referring process is usually 17 days, up to 3 months. Additional opinions may be sought if the judge's statements contradict each other or the report is unnecessarily delayed. On the rare occasion that it is very difficult to find a second reviewer to review the manuscript, even if the existing reviewer's report gives full confidence that the reviewer will apply, the acceptance, reject, or author's correction. Only on the basis of expert opinion, and at the discretion of the publisher. Editor decisions are usually communicated to authors through reviewer recommendations, including verbatim comments. Revised manuscripts are usually sent to the original reviewers for peer review. You can then request another review.
Final report
Authors will be notified of the final decision on acceptance or rejection of the manuscript, along with the reviewers' recommendations, including verbatim comments (if necessary).

Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher and the society.

Publication decisions
The editor of the JIKAP is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.
Promptness
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.
Confidentiality
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Acknowledgement of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
Duties of Authors
Reporting standards
Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable.
