Peer Review

The submitted manuscript is the original work of the author, has not been previously published in any other journal, and is not currently under consideration or evaluation by any other journal. All submitted manuscripts in JKPI are evaluated by the editorial staff. 

Manuscripts that do not align with the journal's scope or fail to meet its quality standards are promptly rejected without undergoing external review. Submissions deemed potentially valuable to the journal’s audience are forwarded for double-blind peer review, involving at least two independent reviewers.

Following the peer review process, the editorial team makes a decision based on the reviewers’ recommendations, which may include rejection, a request for major revisions, a request for minor revisions, or acceptance. Authors are informed of the editorial decision and provided with reviewer feedback as promptly as possible.

Research Articles and Review Articles published in the journal undergo rigorous peer review, which includes an initial screening by the Editor and anonymized evaluation by at least two independent reviewers. Similarly, Data Notes are reviewed rigorously, beginning with a preliminary assessment by a Senior Editor or Editor, followed by anonymized review from at least one independent reviewer. The journal maintains the right to decline manuscripts at the editorial screening stage if they do not meet the minimum requirements for consideration in the external review process.
