Peer Review Process

Agricultural Power Journal (APJ) implements the following review process policy:

  1. Authors are advised to check their manuscripts for plagiarism and ensure that there are no copyright violations before submission.
  2. Submitted manuscripts will be initially reviewed by the Editor for suitability with the Journal’s scope, format, and template.
  3. During this initial review, the Editor may communicate with the Author to request revisions before sending the manuscript to peer reviewers, or may decide to return/decline the manuscript if it does not meet basic requirements.
  4. Manuscripts that pass the initial check will be sent to two reviewers for content review using the Single-blind review method.
  5. The review process evaluates novelty, objectivity, methodology, scientific impact, conclusions, and references.
  6. Reviewers may suggest improvements and/or recommend acceptance or rejection of the manuscript.
  7. The Editor considers reviewers’ suggestions and decides whether the manuscript meets the standards of Agricultural Power Journal (APJ).
  8. The decision of the Editor-in-Chief is final.
  9. The entire review process is conducted through the OJS system.
