Jurnal Teknologi Mesin dan Otomotif (JTMO) applies a peer review process to ensure the scientific quality, originality, and relevance of all published articles. The review process is conducted objectively, transparently, and professionally.

Peer Review Stages

1. Manuscript Submission
   Authors submit their manuscripts through the Online Journal System (OJS), ensuring alignment with the journal’s focus and scope.

2. Initial Editorial Screening
   The editor conducts an initial screening to assess the manuscript’s scope relevance, administrative completeness, formatting, and compliance with publication ethics.

3. Plagiarism Screening
   All manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection software. Manuscripts that exceed the acceptable similarity threshold may be rejected or returned for revision.

4. Reviewer Evaluation
   Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to at least two reviewers with relevant expertise. JTMO adopts a double-blind review system, in which both authors’ and reviewers’ identities are concealed.

5. Editorial Decision
   Based on the reviewers’ evaluations, the editor makes a decision: accepted, accepted with revisions, or rejected.

6. Author Revision
   Authors are required to revise their manuscripts in accordance with reviewers’ and editors’ comments within the specified timeframe.

7. Final Decision and Publication
   Once the revisions are deemed satisfactory, the editor issues a final decision and the manuscript proceeds to publication.
