Peer review process

Research articles submitted to Multi Proximity: Jurnal Statistika Universitas Jambi is initially reviewed by the editors for general fit with the focus and scope of the Multi Proximity. Only articles that fit the focus and scope will be forwarded to reviewers for a double-blind review. The review time process is approximately 3-4 months. Two reviewers will be assigned to review and evaluate the articles in sync with their expertise. An additional reviewer will be appointed in case one of the reviewers disagrees with the quality of the research articles for publication. The assigned reviewers evaluate the research articles by using a standard manuscript evaluation form. They are required to treat all the information in the research articles as confidential. Views of the assigned reviewers serve as a guide to editors to make a final decision on the research articles. The final decision always belongs to Multi Proximity editors. Those manuscripts that are judged by the editors and assigned editors to be inappropriate are rejected promptly without external reviews. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' advice, from among several possibilities: Accept as written without any revisions, Accept with minor revisions (the second round of review is not necessary), Accept with major revisions (the second round of review will be necessary), Reject (the paper is not suitable for publication).
