This document outlines the complete workflow for submitting, reviewing, and publishing an article in the AVITEC Journal. Authors are advised to follow each stage carefully to ensure a smooth publication process.

1. Manuscript Submission
Authors must submit their manuscript through the official online journal system at:
https://ejournals.itda.ac.id/index.php/avitec
Manuscripts must fully adhere to the journal's Author Guidelines. 
Authors are encouraged to consult the latest published articles for formatting and content style.

2. Initial Editorial Screening
The Editor-in-Chief or designated editorial staff performs a preliminary screening to ensure:
- Compliance with author guidelines (format, length, references, structure).
- Relevance to the journal's scope and objectives.
Outcome:
- Pass: Manuscript proceeds to editorial handling.
- Fail: Manuscript returned to author for formatting and content compliance.
Authors whose manuscripts do not meet formatting or submission requirements will be asked to revise and resubmit accordingly.
Upon passing initial screening, the Editor assigns the manuscript to a Section Editor, who oversees the peer review process.

3. Peer Review Process
The Section Editor selects and assigns two independent reviewers based on subject matter expertise.
Review Track Options:
- Normal Track: Reviewers are given 2–4 weeks to evaluate.
- Fast Track: Reviewers must complete the review within 7 working days.
The peer review is blind peer-review.
Once both reviews are received, the Section Editor consolidates the feedback and communicates the decision to the author. Possible outcomes include: Minor Revision,  Major Revision, Reject or Accept (Rare at first round).
The average days required for a review can be seen in our statistics data.

4. Author Revision and Response
Authors are required to:
- Submit a revised manuscript.
- Provide a detailed response letter addressing each reviewer comment.
This process may be iterative and can involve multiple rounds of revision, based on reviewer and editorial feedback.

5. Final Acceptance
When all reviewer and editorial concerns have been satisfactorily addressed, the Section Editor issues a formal Letter of Acceptance (LoA).

6. Payment and Invoice
Following acceptance:
- Authors will receive an invoice for the article processing charge (APC).
- Payment must be completed prior to proceeding to production.

7. Copyediting, Author Proof and Confirmation
Upon confirmation of payment, the manuscript enters the copyediting and layout editing stage. Fast Track submissions are prioritized.
The final version of the article is sent to the author for:
- Review of formatting and editorial changes.
- Final minor corrections (if any).
- Approval for publication.

8. Publication
The approved manuscript is scheduled for publication in the upcoming or designated issue of AVITEC Journal, available on the journal’s website.
