PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Submitted papers undergo single-blind peer review, where anonymous referees assess them based on their contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation. Hexatech: Jurnal Ilmiah Teknik expressed appreciation for the diligent work and valuable recommendations provided by its reviewers.

Preliminary Assessment Of Manuscripts

Prior to publication, the Editor will assess all submitted manuscripts. While uncommon, it is entirely possible for an outstanding paper to be accepted at this point. The manuscripts that are rejected at this stage lack originality, include significant scientific errors, or fall outside the intended focus and objectives of the Hexatech: Jurnal Ilmiah Teknik. The individuals who satisfy the basic requirements are forwarded to experts for evaluation.

Peer Review

Typically, submitted manuscripts will undergo evaluation by one to three experts who will assess the scientific validity and coherence of the manuscript, check for any duplication of already published works, and evaluate the clarity of the manuscript for potential publication. The approach employed is a single-blind peer review process.

Decision

Reviewers provide recommendations to the editor, who holds the ultimate authority to accept or reject the piece. The Editors will make a determination based on these reports and, if needed, they will confer with members of the Editorial Board. The decision of the editor is conclusive.

1. Rejection - Manuscripts that are rejected will not be published, and authors will not be allowed to submit a revised version of the manuscript to this journal.
2. Accept with Major Revision - The manuscript will undergo another evaluation after significant adjustments have been made.
3. Accept with Minor Revisions - Manuscripts that receive an accept-pending-revisions decision will be published in this journal, provided that they undergo minor modifications. The revisions made by an editor will be reviewed to ensure that all necessary updates are made before the publication.
4. Accept - Manuscripts that are accepted will be published as they are, without any additional adjustments needed.

Once revisions have been made, the author should resubmit the revised paper to the editor.

If the paper is sent back for revision within more than two months or exceeds the specified time. Then the manuscript will be considered as a new submission.
