MANUSCRIPT TIMELINE

Estimated Manuscript Processing Timeline

The flowchart illustrates the six main stages of the Proteksi editorial workflow: Submission, Initial Check, Peer Review, Final Check, Editing & Proofreading, and Publication. It explains the purpose of each stage before a manuscript proceeds to the next stage and is ultimately published. Manuscripts processed through to publication must complete the applicable editorial stages according to the outcome of the evaluation at each stage.

Although Proteksi aims to process every manuscript as efficiently as possible, processing time may be influenced by several factors, particularly the quality and readiness of the manuscript, the time required by external Peer Reviewers to complete their evaluations, and the promptness of Authors in submitting revisions. 

Not all submitted manuscripts can be published. Only manuscripts that meet Proteksi standards of scholarly quality, relevance to the journal's Focus and Scope, editorial requirements, and publication ethics may be considered eligible for publication.

A Letter of Acceptance (LoA) will only be issued after the manuscript has been formally declared accepted through the applicable editorial process.
