Open Journal Management
IMPACT: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat Multidisipliner is managed through an open, transparent, accountable, and digitally integrated journal management system. The journal applies clearly defined editorial procedures to support manuscript submission, peer review, revision, production, publication, dissemination, and long-term preservation.
All editorial activities are conducted through the journal’s online platform to ensure traceability, consistency, timely communication, and equitable access for authors, reviewers, editors, and readers.
Journal Management Principles
Editorial policies, publication procedures, author guidelines, peer-review processes, fees, licensing terms, and ethical standards are publicly accessible on the journal website.
Editorial decisions are based on academic merit, relevance, originality, ethical compliance, methodological quality, and reviewers’ recommendations without inappropriate external influence.
Editors, reviewers, authors, and the publisher are responsible for maintaining the integrity, accuracy, fairness, confidentiality, and reliability of the publication process.
Published articles and journal information are made openly accessible to support knowledge dissemination, scholarly communication, community engagement, and wider public benefit.
Journal Management Structure
Online Editorial Workflow
Authors create an account, complete manuscript metadata, upload the manuscript and supporting documents, and confirm compliance with the submission checklist.
The editorial team examines the manuscript’s scope, originality, format, ethical compliance, completeness, language quality, and adherence to author guidelines.
Manuscripts that pass editorial screening are evaluated by qualified independent reviewers through the journal’s double-blind peer-review process.
Authors submit revisions and responses to reviewer comments. Editors evaluate the revised manuscript and issue an editorial decision based on its quality and compliance.
Accepted manuscripts undergo language checking, copyediting, layout preparation, metadata verification, proofreading, DOI preparation, and final author approval.
The final article is published online with complete metadata and is distributed through indexing services, repositories, scholarly databases, search engines, and digital preservation systems where applicable.
The journal uses an online journal management and publishing platform to manage submissions, peer review, editorial communication, production, publication, user registration, metadata, and article archives.
Authors and reviewers are expected to conduct all official submission and review activities through the journal platform. Editorial decisions communicated outside the official system are not considered valid unless formally recorded by the editorial office.
Editorial Records and Data Protection
Submission files, review reports, editorial decisions, correspondence, authorship information, and publication metadata are maintained as part of the journal’s editorial records. Access to confidential editorial information is restricted to authorized individuals.
Personal information collected through the journal platform is used solely for journal management, scholarly communication, publication administration, indexing, preservation, and other legitimate editorial purposes in accordance with the journal’s Privacy Statement.
Quality Assurance and Evaluation
The journal periodically evaluates its editorial procedures, reviewer performance, publication timeliness, policy compliance, website information, article metadata, publication quality, accessibility, and indexing readiness.
Editorial policies may be reviewed and updated to reflect developments in scholarly publishing, publication ethics, open-access standards, digital technology, legal requirements, and recognized international best practices.
Questions, complaints, appeals, corrections, and concerns relating to journal management must be submitted through the official journal contact channel. Each concern will be documented, assessed objectively, and handled according to the journal’s editorial, ethical, complaints, and appeals procedures.
