Ruang Sosialia: Ruang Ilmu Sosial dan Agama implements a peer-review process to maintain the quality and validity of every manuscript it publishes. All submitted articles will undergo review. The journal applies a Single Blind Review system that is both efficient and fair, ensuring that all published articles meet high academic standards.
To achieve this, Ruang Sosialia depends on reviewers who are able to provide insightful and meaningful feedback on manuscripts, typically within a period of 4–5 weeks. The realization of Ruang Sosialia as a reputable scientific journal relies heavily on reviewers who are committed to being objective, fair, and knowledgeable in evaluating each submission. These principles follow the ethical guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Relevance to Expertise:
Accept the invitation only if the manuscript aligns with your academic field and you believe you can conduct a thorough review.
Time Availability:
Reviewing requires careful and extensive reading, accept the assignment only if you can meet the expected deadline.
Confidentiality:
Once accepted, all materials received must be treated as strictly confidential. They may not be shared or discussed with anyone without prior authorization from the editor. Because peer-review is confidential, reviewers must not disclose any information related to the review process to others without approval from both the editor and the author.
The reviewer’s evaluation helps the editor decide whether a manuscript should be accepted for publication. It is essential to provide constructive comments and general observations, supported by clear justification so authors and editors fully understand the reasoning behind the feedback. Reviewers should assess the following components:
