Peer Review Process

Publication of articles in MUST is dependent solely on the scientific validity as judged by our editors and/or reviewers, who will also assess whether the writing is comprehensible and whether the work represents a useful contribution to the field.

Initial evaluation of manuscripts

The Editor will first evaluate manuscripts submitted. At this stage, the Editor performs a plagiarism test using Turnitin with a maximum plagiarism limit of 20%. Manuscripts rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, or are outside the aims and scope of the MUST. Manuscripts that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to reviewers.

Type of peer review

The manuscripts will be reviewed by at least 2 (two) peer reviewers. The method is double-blind peer review. The editor ensures that every process of reviewing, the author does not know the reviewers and vice versa. The time required for the review process is 4 (four) weeks after the article accepted by the reviewers.

Review reports

Reviewers are asked to evaluate whether the manuscript:

• Is original by stating the objectives clearly
• Follows appropriate ethical guidelines
• Is methodologically sound
• Has results/findings which are clearly presented and support the conclusions
• Correctly references previous relevant work

Decision

Reviewers advise the editor to accept or reject the article. The editors will reach a decision based on reviewer's reports, and where necessary, they will consult with members of the editorial board. Editor's decision is final.

Publication Frequency

MUST publishes articles twice in a year i.e, in July and December each volume

Open Access Policy

Archives are stored in Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya's repository server and it's digitally submitted to Indonesian National Library's Indonesia OneSearch. Published issues are also sent to LIPI (Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia) to be retained in its repository. MUST Journal also implementing PKP Private LOCKSS Network (PLN) preservation function as can be seen in The Keepers Registry record here.

Publication Ethics

AUTHOR

Article standard: The author must present an original article that is accurate about the process of work performed and presents an objective discussion. In the article, the data must be displayed accurately. Articles must contain enough detail and references so others can develop research. Deliberate or inaccurate statements are intentional unethical and unacceptable behavior.

Data access: In certain conditions, at the request of the editor, the author is asked to provide raw data in connection with the review process, the writer must be ready to give the editor access to the data.

Authenticity and plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their work is fully original, and if the author has used the work and/or words of others who have been quoted or quoted correctly.

Multiple publications: An author should not publish manuscripts that descriptively describe the same research in more than one journal or other publication. Sending the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.

Source recognition: Authors must always acknowledge works that have been made by others. Authors must cite publications that have been influential in determining the character of the articles submitted.

About the authors: The names of the authors listed are limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the concept, design, implementation, or interpretation of the research reported. All people who have made significant contributions must be registered as writers. If other people have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they must be recognized or registered as contributors. The author who corresponds with the editor must ensure that all co-authors are suitable and that no co-authors are incorrectly included in the article and that all co-authors have seen and agreed to the latest version of the article and have agreed to the submission for publication.
