Peer Review Process
Description
Reviewed manuscripts are original manuscripts that have been selected by Executive Editors and arranged according to the writing guidelines of Restorative: Journal of Indonesian Probation and Parole System. For some manuscripts, reviewing process could be conducted by reviewers. The articles will be sent to the peer reviewers to get Double-Blind Peer Review Process. Consideration in determining the reviewers and its number, and the decision of whether a manuscript is published or not, is determined by the executive editors based on the assessment or input from reviewers. Reviewing process will consider novelty, objectivity, method, scientific impact, conclusion, and references.
As explained in publication ethics, we ensure that the reviewed manuscript is treated confidentially before being published.
Type of Decision
There are four types of editorial decisions during the peer review process, which are:
|
Decline Submission |
Resubmit for Review |

Decline Submission
Following peer review, the paper is judged not acceptable for publication in Restorative: Journal of Indonesian Probation and Parole System and resubmission is not possible.
Resubmit for Review
The submitted version of the paper is unacceptable and requires major revision, but there is clear potential in work. Restorative: Journal of Indonesian Probation and Parole System is prepared to consider a new version. Authors are offered the opportunity to resubmit their paper as a new submission. Concerns will remain regarding the paper's suitability for publication until the authors convince the editors that their paper fits the scope and standards of Restorative: Journal of Indonesian Probation and Parole System. The resubmitted manuscript will be returned to the original associate editor if at all possible.
Revision
The paper requires changes before a final decision can be made. Authors are asked to modify their manuscript in light of comments received from referees and editors and submit a new version for consideration within two weeks of receiving the decision letter. A point-by-point explanation of how comments have been addressed must be supplied with the revised version of the paper. Revisions may undergo further peer review, and papers may undergo more than one round of revision. If the authors do not revise their papers to the editors' satisfaction, the paper can still be declined from publication in Restorative: Journal of Indonesian Probation and Parole System.
Accept Submission
The paper is accepted for publication, subject to conditions that need to be addressed in producing a final version of the manuscript. These may include sub-editing changes and minor amendments to ensure the paper fully matches our criteria. After final checking in the editorial office, acceptance is confirmed, and the paper is forwarded to the publishers for publication.
Galley Proof
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author for final checking. Corrections to the proofs must be restricted to printer's errors: any other changes to the text, in equations or grammar, may be charged to the author. Proofs should be returned to the editors within three days of receipt to minimize the risk of the author's contribution being held over to a later issue. The editors do not accept responsibility for the correctness of published content. It is the author's responsibility to check the content at the proof stage.
