Year |
Information |
|
2012-2019 |
Articles from Volumes 1 to 4 (Issues 1–3) were published on the former website (http://jurnal.untad.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/JAK/). These articles are currently inaccessible because the website has been decommissioned by the university. |
|
2019 |
Journal Akademika Kimia (JAK) migrated from its previous website (http://jurnal.untad.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/JAK/) to a new website at http://jurnal.fkip.untad.ac.id/index.php/jak/ |
|
2019 - 2022 |
Articles published in Volume 9, Issue 4, until Volume 11 were made available on the website: http://jurnal.fkip.untad.ac.id/index.php/jak/. |
|
2023 -2024 |
The JAK website was inaccessible until July 2024, resulting in delays in the publication of Volumes 12 and 13 and a decline in the number of manuscripts submitted and accepted. |
|
2024 |
Journal Akademika Kimia (JAK) migrated from http://jurnal.fkip.untad.ac.id/index.php/jak/ to its current website: https://jurnalfkipuntad.com/index.php/jak/. |
|
2024 |
Due to the limited number of accepted manuscripts, Volume 13 was published with five articles per issue. |
|
2025 |
Starting from Volume 14, Issue 3, the journal adopted a revised manuscript template, with modifications to the keyword section and an increase in the minimum reference requirement from 15 to 25. |
|
2023-2026 |
Manuscripts accepted for Volume 12 (1-4) through Volume 15 (Issues 1 and 2) have not yet been managed in full accordance with the journal's standard Submission–Peer Review–Editing–Production workflow, as described in the author guidelines. This was due to adjustments required following the website migration and the restoration of the journal management system. |
Peer Review Process
Peer review is an integral part of scientific publishing that confirms the validity of the science reported. Peer reviewers are experts who volunteer their time to help improve the journal manuscripts they review.
Jurnal Akademika Kimia (JAK) follows a single-blinded peer review process, following the practices of good scholarly journals and to ensure impartial editorial decision making.
1. Submission of Paper
The corresponding or submitting author submits the paper to the journal. This is usually via an online system. Occasionally, Jurnal Akademika Kimia may accept submissions by email.
2. Editorial Office Assessment
Jurnal Akademika Kimia checks the paper’s composition and arrangement against the journal’s Author Guidelines to make sure it includes the required sections and stylizations. Once the article passes through this step, articles are subjected to editorial review for focus and scope, relevance, and other standard requirements.
3. Appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief
The Editor-in-Chief checks that the paper is appropriate for the journal focus and scopes and is sufficiently original and interesting, and then assigns an Editor who handles the peer review. If not, the paper may be rejected without being reviewed any further.
4. Invitation to Reviewers
The section editor sends invitations to individuals he or she believes would be appropriate reviewers. As responses are received, further invitations are issued, if necessary, until the required number of acceptances is obtained.
5. Response to Invitations
Potential reviewers consider the invitation against their own expertise, conflicts of interest and availability. They then accept or decline. If possible, when declining, they might also suggest alternative reviewers.
6. Review is Conducted
The reviewers read it closely and provide individual critiques, usually within one to two weeks. The review is then submitted to the journal, with a recommendation to accept or reject it – or else with a request for revision (usually flagged as either major or minor) before it is reconsidered.
7. Editor Journal Evaluates the Reviews
The section editor considers all the returned reviews before making an overall decision. Depending on reviewer commentary and recommendations, manuscripts may be sent back to authors for revision. After the section editor receives the revised manuscript, it is assigned to the reviewer(s) once again, for approval of changes. But the final decision to publish is made by the Editor-in-Chief.
If the paper was sent back for revision, the reviewers should expect to receive a new version, unless they have opted out of further participation. However, where only minor changes were requested this follow-up review might be done by the section editor.
