Peer Review Process & Workflow

Submitted manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process conducted by at least two independent expert reviewers with domain expertise in management science or applied technology.

  1. Initial Screening (Desk Review): The editorial team evaluates manuscript suitability, thematic alignment, formatting compliance, and the presence of the 4 Mandatory Declarations (AI Usage, Author Contributions CRediT, Funding Statement, Conflict of Interest).
  2. Plagiarism & AI Screening: All submissions are screened using iThenticate, Turnitin, and Copyleaks prior to external review. Submissions exceeding the 20% similarity threshold are rejected or returned for modification.
  3. Double-Blind Review: Anonymized manuscripts are reviewed by at least two qualified referees; author and reviewer identities remain strictly masked throughout the workflow.
  4. Editorial Decision: Editorial determinations are rendered based on reviewer evaluations: Accept Submission, Revisions Required (Minor), Resubmit for Review (Major), Resubmit Elsewhere, or Decline Submission.
  5. Revision & Re-review: Authors must submit revised drafts accompanied by a point-by-point response letter within the designated timeframe. Re-evaluations are conducted by the handling editor or re-sent to original reviewers.
  6. Final Decision & Production: Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting, DOI minting, and layout proofreading. Complete bibliographic metadata on the galley PDF are synchronized with the OJS portal.

JMT is dedicated to an efficient, transparent, and fair review cycle. On average, authors can expect a first decision within 7 days, a peer review period of 14 days, a total submission-to-acceptance timeframe of approximately 28 days, and online publication within 7 days of acceptance. JMT operates in strict adherence to best practices established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Every published article explicitly displays its chronological history (Received, Revised, Accepted, and Published dates).

Special Issue Policy

JMT periodically publishes Special Issues focusing on transformative disruptions, contemporary management paradigms, or high-impact strategic themes. Special Issues are guest-edited by distinguished scholars and undergo identical double-blind peer review rigor as regular issues.

Proposals for Special Issues should encompass:

  • A precise thematic scope and relevance to contemporary management-technology dynamics;
  • Guest Editorial team credentials, institutional affiliations, and Scopus/ORCID profiles;
  • A structured publication timeline covering call-for-papers, review milestones, and galley finalization.

Proposals may be submitted via the Contact Us page.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

JMT acknowledges the constructive assistance provided by Artificial Intelligence tools in scholarly writing while preserving academic transparency. The following principles apply to all submissions:

  • Mandatory Disclosure: Authors must provide a formal statement prior to References indicating whether AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly AI, Copilot) were utilized during linguistic polishing or proofreading.
  • Non-Authorship of AI: Conforming to COPE standards, AI models cannot be credited as authors or co-authors because non-human software cannot assume legal or ethical responsibility for research assertions.
  • Author Ownership & Integrity: Authors maintain full intellectual ownership and legal responsibility for the factual integrity, econometric models, empirical datasets, citations, and originality of their published work.
  • Permitted Scope: The use of AI is welcomed strictly for proofreading, grammar, and stylistic enhancement. Management models, empirical analyses, and substantive conclusions must represent the authors' own scholarly synthesis.

This policy operates in complete alignment with guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Publication Frequency & Scheduling

Jurnal Manajemen dan Teknologi is published twice a year (biannual) — May and November. Each issue features an intentionally curated collection of peer-reviewed empirical studies, conceptual frameworks, and management case analyses. Submission slots per issue are scheduled to maintain editorial scrutiny and reviewer diligence. Authors are advised to monitor the latest Announcements for current call-for-papers schedules.
