Jurnal Jamu Indonesia (JJI) is dedicated to the exchange of information and widespread scientific understanding regarding the development of the world of herbal medicine through the publication of scientific papers. The themes of scientific papers within the scope of JJI include the theme of herbal medicine research from upstream to downstream which is not limited to ethnobotanical research and local knowledge, exploration, conservation, domestication of biological resources related to herbal medicine, variety breeding, development of Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (GACP) for herbal medicine raw materials, development of standards for raw materials and herbal medicine products, development of herbal medicine products, identification of active compounds and their synthesis, working mechanisms for the bioactivity of herbal medicine formulas, social and economic aspects related to the development of herbal medicine.

Overview: Jurnal Jamu Indonesia (JJI) publishes research articles, review articles, and short
communications. All submissions undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure the highest
standards of academic quality. This process includes the following stages:
1. Screening: The editorial team initially screens all submitted articles to ensure they align with
the scope of JJI. This phase involves assessing the content, formatting, writing quality, and
language. Additionally, a plagiarism check is conducted using Turnitin. The screening process
typically takes 1–2 weeks. An article may be rejected during this stage for one or more of the
following reasons:
a) The content does not fall within the scope of JJI.
b) The plagiarism check reveals more than 25% content similarity.
c) The article lacks significant academic contribution.
d) The study offers no practical application or relevance.
e) The article is poorly formatted, presented, or written, making it difficult to understand.
2. Peer Review: If an article passes the screening stage, it is then subjected to peer review. The
editorial team selects two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. These reviewers must
be from different institutions than the authors and from each other. JJI employs a single-blind
review process, where reviewers are aware of the authors' identities, but the authors do not know
the reviewers. The peer review process typically takes 2–3 months.
3. Notification of Peer Review Results: After the peer review process, the editorial team makes
the final decision based on the reviewers' feedback. Authors will be notified of one of the
following outcomes:
a) Accepted as is
b) Accepted with minor revisions
c) Requires extensive revision and reconsideration by the Associate Editor
d) Requires extensive revision and reconsideration by the original reviewers
e) Rejected
4. Revision: Authors whose articles require revision must address the reviewers' comments and
resubmit their work. The revised article is then evaluated by the editorial team or, in some cases,
by the original reviewers if they have requested to do so. Language editing services may be
offered if necessary. The revision process, from submission to the final decision, typically takes
up to 6 weeks.
5. Proofing: Accepted articles undergo proofreading, with proofs sent electronically to
corresponding authors for verification. Corrections are expected within 48 hours.

 

Starting in 2026, Jurnal Jamu Indonesia will be published six times a year (February, April, June, August, October, and December)

 

Jurnal Jamu Indonesia provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
