Peer Review Policy

Mimbar Hukum applies a double blind review process. The authors are welcome to suggest at least three potential reviewers along with name and their email address. However, the decision to determine the appropriate reviewers is right of editor. Each articles are sent to at least two peer reviewers, possibly more if the two reviewers provide conflicting recommendations.

The fate of articles are determined by the Editorial Board based on these recommendations. If there are revisions required, the authors will be asked to revise until the Editorial Board is satisfied.

Plagiarism and self-plagiarism are not allowed. A software tool may be used so that the submitted articles are screened for plagiarism. Detection of overlapping and similar text is used there and so quotations and appropriate citations have to be used whenever required. It is basically author’s duty to only submit a manuscript that is free from plagiarism and academically malpractices. The editor, however, double checks each article before its publication. The first step is to check plagiarism against offline database by Mimbar Hukum Editorial Board and, secondly, against as much as possible online databases.
