Peer Review Process

  1. Gadjah Mada Journal of Professional Psychology (GamaJPP). Employs a double-blind review method, namely that both reviewers and author(s) identities will be concealed from each other.
  2. Initial Screening. All submitted manuscript will be screened by the Editor-in-Chief to determine whether the manuscript abides by the focus and scope of Gadjah Mada Journal of Professional Psychology (GamaJPP). Manuscripts that do not meet the basic requirements will be rejected without further review.
  3. Peer-review. All manuscripts that pass the initial screening stage, will be distributed to two experts in the relevant field to undergo a double-blind peer-review.
  4. First Decision. A decision on a peer-reviewed manuscript will be given once both reviewers have submitted their review reports. In the event that both reviewers have differing opinions about the manuscript, the final decision will be handed over to the Editor-in-Chief. At this stage, the author(s) will receive at least one of this decision: accepted; revision required; or rejected.
  5. Revision Stage. Manuscripts that have been recommended for revision will be returned to the submitting author. Author(s) will have up to 1 months to revise the manuscripts. The revision process will be limited to a maximum of two rounds.
  6. Final Decision. If the author(s) fail to meet the revision requirements after the second round, the manuscript will be rejected. All accepted manuscripts will go through the final editing and layout process.

  8. Final Decision. If the author(s) fail to meet the revision requirements after the second round, the manuscript will be rejected. All accepted manuscripts will go through the final editing and layout process.
  9. Withdrawal of Manuscripts. Author is not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts, because the withdrawal is a waste of valuable resources. Further, Editors and peer reviewers of Gadjah Mada Journal of Professional Psychology (GamaJPP) allocate a great deal of time and efforts processing submitted manuscript. Thus, in case of manuscript withdrawal, Gadjah Mada Journal of Professional Psychology (GamaJPP) applies the following rules.
  • If author requests withdrawal after the manuscript is accepted for publication, a fee of IDR 250.0000 (or USD 25) per manuscript is applied as a withdrawal penalty and the author(s) will be put in ‘blacklist” for 2 years.
  • Withdrawal of manuscript is only allowed after the withdrawal penalty has been fully paid to Gadjah Mada Journal of Professional Psychology (GamaJPP).
