Every published content under the “Articles” section is subject to peer review. Published contents under the “Editorial” section are not peer-reviewed.

External reviewers conduct a peer review in the journal. They were selected based on their expertise and latest publications in the related topics of the submitted manuscripts. At least two reviewers are selected for each submission. The journal didn’t ask author(s) for recommended reviewers to avoid any misconduct in the peer review process. At some point, editorial board members can also be selected as reviewers of a manuscript. A list of reviewers of each edition is provided in the published issue, and a list of all reviewers is available at https://indonesiastt.ac.id/journal/index.php/ijr/

Following A Standard Terminology for Peer Review, the type of peer review process in the journal can be summarized as follows:

Identity Transparency: Double Anonymized

Reviewer identity is not made visible to the author, author identity is not made visible to the reviewer, and reviewer and author identity are visible to the (decision-making) editor.

Reviewer Interacts with: Editor

Communication between editor and reviewer (traditional model). Also known as ‘independent review’. Identities can be anonymized or visible.

Review Information Published: Review Reports

The full content of the reviewer reports is published. At this moment, the journal only published review reports for accepted manuscripts from Vol. 21, No. 1, August 2021.

Post Publication Commenting: Open

Commenting open to anybody. Can be anonymous, require signing in and/or registration (e.g., via ORCID). At this moment, comments can be sent through email to the editor. In the future, a “Comments” section may be prepared for this purpose.

The peer review process in the journal can be described as follows:

• Each submitted article will first be checked by the editor-in-chief for journal standards, the relevance of topics, and plagiarism checks.
• When an article meets journal standards, the relevance of topics, and plagiarism check, the editor-in-chief assigns a managing editor or a section editor who will send the article to at least two reviewers.
• The journal applies a double-blind policy for the peer review process. The author sends the article with no knowledge of the reviewers, and the author's name is enclosed for the reviewers.
• After receiving the review results, the editor-in-chief will decide whether the article should be accepted, accepted after revision, or rejected. Reviewers will also be notified regarding this decision.
• Once an article is accepted, it will be sent to a copy editor and a layout editor for the final process before publishing. During these steps, communication between author(s), editor-in-chief, copy editor, and layout editor is conducted within Open Journal Systems.

Published contents will include dates of submission, revision(s), acceptance, and publication.
