Section Policies
Brawijaya Journal of Urology publishes peer-reviewed articles in basic medical research, clinical research, community research, case reports/series, review articles, and brief communication. All of the manuscripts must be submitted through online submission and go through a peer review process as mentioned in another section. This journal also has other sections such as editorial, correspondence, and commentary which are not peer-reviewed.
Editorial Process
The submitted manuscript will be checked by an editor for its suitability with Brawijaya Journal of Urology’s focus and scope and major methodological flaws within two weeks. Staff will work with the author to fulfill all the requirements within two weeks. Every submitted manuscript that passes this step will then be checked for plagiarism by Similarity Check. The manuscript needs to be reworked if indicated for minor plagiarism and will be rejected if indicated for major plagiarism. Then, an editor-in-charge and an editorial assistant will be assigned to the manuscript. In this stage, the manuscript will be assessed based on novelty and adherence to reporting guidelines. Subsequently, the manuscript will go through a peer-review process. The revisions may be required and will be re-evaluated by the editor-in-charge after the authors provide sufficient responses. The manuscript will be passed to the editor-in-chief for any further revision and ultimately will make an editorial decision. The accepted manuscript will be sent to the copyediting stage for correction of grammar and spelling errors, standardizing the journal's in-house style, and improving table, figure, and writing quality. The incomplete revision of this stage will result in pending scheduled publication. Then, the manuscript will enter the production stage for typesetting. A pdf file is sent to the author for review and there should be no more scientific revision. A failure to comply will result in a delay in the publication since it needs editor confirmation for the changes. It will be scheduled for publication after the payment has been received. The final approval is needed from the corresponding author before it is published. The manuscript submitted by one of the editorial teams of the Brawijaya Journal of Urology will be processed by other editorial board members who do not have any conflict of interest with the manuscript and follow the same editorial process.
Peer Review Process
All submitted manuscripts (except editorial, commentary, and correspondence) in Brawijaya Journal of Urology undergo double-blind peer review by at least two reviewers. All manuscripts are sent to the reviewers anonymously. Reviewers’ comments are also sent anonymously to the corresponding author to take the necessary actions and responses. All the reviewers are subjected to submit their evaluation in not more than six weeks. Brawijaya Journal of Urology staff ensures that the referee reports are complete. On some occasions, the review process needs more time to seek the appropriate reviewers.
