Every submitted paper will be reviewed through a double-blind review process. Reviewers are unaware of the identity of the authors, and authors are also unaware of the identity of reviewers. The review process will evaluate the manuscript based on its novelty, objectivity, methodology, scientific impact, conclusion, and references. JTIP does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or very short peer review process. Plagiarism screening will be conducted using Turnitin. The final decision will be made by the Chief Editor. Here are the steps in the Peer Review Process in JTIP.

  1. The first step is the submission of the manuscript. Manuscript must be prepared using the manuscript format (JTIP Article Template). The author is required to submit an Authors Agreement declaration along with any other necessary supporting documents. The submission process can be done here.
  2. Technical editor will receive the manuscript. The manuscript will be checked for compliance with the JTIP format standard. Manuscript which is not meet writing format standard will be returned to the author, while suitable manuscript will be forwarded to the associate editor. Next, associate editor will evaluate the alignment of the manuscript's topic with the scope of JTIP. The associate editor will assess the manuscript's novelty, objectivity, method, and scientific impact. Unsuitable topics will be declined, while suitable ones will proceed to the reviewer.
  3. The reviewer will conduct a through review of the manuscript over a period of two weeks, and then the review results will be forwarded to the technical editor. Next, the editor in chief will assess the manuscript's status (Feasible/Minor/Major/Reject) based on the reviewer's evaluation. The decision made by the editor in chief, along with the reviewer's comments, will be conveyed to the author.
  4. The author should revise the manuscript based on the reviewers' comments and submit the revised manuscript within two weeks of receiving feedback from the secretariate.
  5. After the author submits the revised manuscript, one of the section editors of food chemistry, food microbiology, food biochemistry, or food process engineering corresponding to the manuscript topic will review the revised manuscript. A decision will be made to determine if the revisions are appropriate; if they are not, the manuscript will be returned to the author. If the revisions are satisfactory, the manuscript will be forwarded to the editor in chief.
  6. The editor in chief will then determine the final status of the manuscript. Accepted manuscripts will be followed up by an acceptance letter from the technical editor, which will be sent to the author.
  7. The next step involves the production of the galley proof and manuscript editing by the production editor.
  8. The production editor will send the galley proof to the author for review and revision. The production editor will then receive the corrected galley proof from the author.
  9. The production editor produces the final galley proof.
  10. The editor in chief will publish the journal online. At this stage, they will verify the metadata in OJS, including the author name, affiliation, abstract, keywords, and references, upload the articles online, assign a DOI, and update metadata on Google Scholar and DOAJ.
