Peer Review Process

ISTIDRAK Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Studies  (IJAES) follows a double-blind peer review system to ensure the highest quality of published work. All manuscripts must be submitted through our online manuscript management system. Authors must first register in the system before submitting their manuscripts. To maintain academic integrity, iThenticate is used to check similarity levels before the manuscript is sent to external reviewers. The corresponding author will receive notification about the manuscript's status within one to two months through the online system. IJAES primarily relies on external reviewers, with additional support from internal reviewers when necessary. The IJAES utilizes iThenticate plagiarism detection software as part of its editorial screening process. While iThenticate is primarily designed to detect text similarity and potential plagiarism, it may also help flag unusual writing patterns that could suggest the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content. Authors are reminded that all submitted work must be original, properly cited, and written by humans. If AI tools are used during manuscript preparation, this must be clearly disclosed. Suspicious or undisclosed use of AI-generated content may lead to further investigation, editorial queries, or rejection.
