PeerReview Process

Linears Journal: The Linears Periodical Journal applies the Double-blind Peer Review Process. All submitted manuscripts are read by the Editor-in-Chief of Linears Journal: Periodic Architecture Journal initially for table evaluation. Submissions that are inappropriate in terms of focus and scope will be rejected immediately without external review. Manuscripts that are evaluated of potential interest to our readers will be assigned to the relevant section editor for further handling. The section editor will ask at least two scientists to review the manuscript. Based on comments from reviewers, Section Editors, and Chief Editors will make a decision on the manuscript.

The determination of articles to be published in the Linears Journal was carried out through a double blind peer review by considering two main aspects, namely: the relevance and contribution of articles on architectural theory and the development of engineering practices. Editors and reviewers provide constructive feedback on the evaluation results to the author. Editor-in-Chief of Linears Journal: Periodic Architectural Journal has the right to determine which manuscripts will be published in the journal.

The manuscript review process usually takes 4 to 12 weeks. This review period depends on the duration of the editor and reviewer in reviewing the manuscript. If the old author does not get confirmation from the Linears Journal, the author can confirm via email at linears.arsi@unismuh.ac.id. The stages of the review process implemented in the Linears Journal are as follows:

Submission of manuscripts is only processed online, namely OJS Jurnal Linears, website: https://journal.unismuh.ac.id/index.php/linears

The submitted manuscripts will be checked according to the focus and scope of the Linears Journal. The editor will inform you whether the manuscript is in accordance with the focus and scope of the Linears Journal. If appropriate, the next process will be carried out. If not, we will recommend submission to other journals. Linears Journal Editor. will immediately notify via email.

Then the script will be checked with Turnitin (similarity check). If the similarity rate is more than 20%, then the manuscript will be asked to be corrected or rejected by the Editor in Chief of Linears Journal. This decision is entirely the prerogative of the editor in chief of Linears Journal and cannot be contested.

Then, the manuscript will be reviewed at the editorial level to determine whether it is sufficient to contribute to the development of science and practice in the field of Architectural Engineering. The editor will inform the author of the results of this review. Manuscripts that pass this stage will be continued to the review stage by two peer reviewers.

For manuscripts received with revisions (minor or major) will contain comments from peer reviewers and are returned to the author for revision. Referring to the policies in the Linears Journal, reviewers only provide suggestions whether the manuscript is accepted or rejected. Meanwhile, the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of the manuscript rests with the editorial staff and editor in chief.

Authors are given time to revise the manuscript no later than one month. Additional time for revisions should be asked to the editor via email (linears.arsi@unismuh.ac.id). If there is no notification after the specified period, the author is considered to have resigned.

Manuscripts that have been finalized and accepted by the editorial staff will be published in the Linears Journal in the edition determined by the editor in chief. The author can ask the editor in chief if he wants to publish his article in a certain edition (volume and numbers). For this purpose, the author must submit a written application to the editor in chief of the Linears Journal, via email to the Linears Journal.
