Upon submission of a manuscript to the Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship Journal (ITEJ), the Editor-in-Chief will assess its suitability for publication. Manuscripts that do not align with the journal's Aims and Scope will be rejected outright without any external review. Experts will review potential manuscripts, and the Editor-in-Chief will decide based on their recommendations from among several possibilities: rejected, require major revision, need minor revision, or accepted. The final decision on publication will be made following a blind peer review, which will consider the articles' relevance and contribution to theory and practical development. Both editors and reviewers will provide feedback to the authors regarding the evaluation results. Ultimately, the Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision on which manuscripts will be published in the journal.

Reviewing a manuscript typically takes 4 to 12 weeks, depending on how long the editor and reviewers take to complete their assessments. If an author has yet to receive confirmation from the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Management after a prolonged period, they can reach out for updates via email at [email protected]. The review process at the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Management follows a set of stages, which are as follows:

1. Only manuscripts submitted through the online journal system (OJS) on the journal's website at https://journal.unimma.ac.id/index.php/ITEJ/ will be processed.
2. The manuscripts will be evaluated thoroughly to ensure compliance with the journal's author guidelines and submission template. Additionally, we will assess whether the manuscript aligns with the focus and scope of the journal. If deemed appropriate, the next steps in the process will be initiated. However, we recommend submitting it to an alternative journal if it is unsuitable. The editor of the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Management will promptly notify the author of the status via OJS and email.
3. All manuscripts will go through a similarity check using Turnitin to ensure originality. If the similarity level exceeds 20%, the manuscript will be rejected during the desk evaluation stage. Please note that the Editor-in-chief's decision is final and cannot be disputed.
4. An assigned editor will review the manuscripts to determine if they significantly contribute to advancing business and management in science and practice. If they meet the criteria, two peer reviewers will conduct an independent review by referring to the Journal review form.
5. If a manuscript is accepted with revisions (whether minor or major), it will come with comments from peer reviewers and need to be revised by the author. The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Management policy states that reviewers only provide suggestions on whether to accept or reject the manuscript. Ultimately, the editor and editor-in-chief make the final decision on whether to accept or reject the manuscript.
6. Authors are given one month to revise their manuscripts. If they require additional time, they can request an extension by emailing the editor at [email protected]. However, if the editor does not receive any notification within a specific time, it will be considered that the author has resigned.
7. After final revisions, the editor's accepted manuscripts will be published in the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Management. The editor-in-chief will determine the edition in which they will appear. If an author prefers a specific volume or number, they may request it via email ([email protected]) to the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Management editor-in-chief.
