Peer Review Process

Upon receiving a new manuscript, the Editorial office conducts initial pre-refereeing checks (including similarity checking) to ensure the article is legible, complete, correctly formatted, original, within the scope of the journal in question, in the style of a scientific article and written in clear English. Any article that has problems with any of the above criteria may be rejected at this stage.

Articles passing successfully through the pre-refereeing stage then begin formal double-blind peer review.

Research papers submitted for publication in IJIMEAM are generally sent to two or more independent referees who are asked to report on the quality, novelty, scientific rigour, significance to the field and presentation.

Referees are selected from our reviewer database and we try to find the best combination of scientific expertise and referee experience for each paper.

Complete Peer Review Policy can be found in this page: https://publikasi.mercubuana.ac.id/index.php/ijimeam/pages/view/review-policy.

Overall Guideline for Reviewer, including checklist, can be found in this page: https://publikasi.mercubuana.ac.id/index.php/ijimeam/pages/view/review-guide.

Publication Frequency

IJIMEAM publishes three issues annually, with new editions released in April, August, and December. Each issue presents cutting-edge research, reviews, and technical papers that contribute to the ongoing development of the field. We are committed to maintaining a transparent and efficient review process, promoting the advancement of knowledge through scholarly communication.

Universitas Mercu Buana (UMB) may choose to publish an abstract or portions of the manuscript prior to its official publication in the journal (as an Article in Press). However, if you prefer that no such preliminary publication occurs—for instance, due to the disclosure of a patentable invention—please contact the Editor immediately

Open Access Policy

This journal offers immediate open access to its content, based on the principle that freely available research fosters a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Plagiarism Policy

By submitting your manuscript to the journal, it is understood that this work is an original and unpublished manuscript, and it is not under consideration elsewhere. The journal strictly prohibits plagiarism, including duplicate publication of an author's own work, whether in whole or in part, without proper citation.

Plagiarism is committed when one author uses another work (typically the work of another author) without permission, credit, or acknowledgment. Plagiarism takes different forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing the work of another. 

• Literal copying is reproducing a work word for word, in whole or in part, without permission and acknowledgment of the original source. Literal copying is obvious plagiarism and is easy to detect by comparing the papers in question.
• Substantial copying is reproducing a substantial part of a work, without permission and acknowledgment of the original source. In determining what is “substantial,” both the quantity and the quality of the copied content are relevant. Quality refers to the relative value of the copied text in proportion to the work as a whole. Where the essence of a work has been reproduced, even if only a small part of the original work, plagiarism may have occurred.
• Paraphrasing; copying may take place without reproducing the exact words used in the original work, i.e. without literal or substantial copying. This type of copying is known as paraphrasing, and it can be the most difficult type of plagiarism to detect.

IJIMEAM will immediately investigate and reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism. IJIMEAM investigation on suspected plagiarism will be based on COPE's guidance:

• Suspected plagiarism in a submitted manuscript here

• Suspected plagiarism in a published article here

IJIMEAM utilizes iThenticate or Turnitin (or a similar) originality checking software to identify textual similarities within article manuscripts and the final versions prepared for publication. A maximum similarity threshold of 20% is allowed for submitted papers. Should we detect a similarity index exceeding 20%, the paper will be promptly rejected by the editor.
