Fast Track Review

This section is intended for manuscripts submitted through the Fast Track Review process, which offers an expedited review and editorial decision timeline compared to the regular submission route. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer-review process by at least two independent reviewers, but within a tighter deadline.

This option is recommended for authors who require faster publication due to academic deadlines, promotion requirements, or other administrative purposes.

Requirements for Fast Track submissions:

• The manuscript must meet the same quality and completeness standards as regular submissions.
• Authors must strictly follow the journal's template and author guidelines.
• A justification for choosing the Fast Track route must be provided in the "Comments for the Editor" section during submission.
• Any applicable additional fee for this service will be communicated by the editorial team.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to determine whether a manuscript qualifies for the Fast Track process based on urgency, quality, and technical readiness. The decision of the Editor is final.

Peer Review Process

Review Policy

Papers submitted to the Jurnal Riset Mahasiswa Matematika (JRMM) are reviewed by experts in mathematics from various universities. The review process generally takes approximately 2–4 weeks to complete. All manuscripts undergo plagiarism screening before being sent to reviewers.

Review Model: The JRMM uses a single-blind peer review model. In this process, reviewers know the identity of the authors, but authors do not know the identity of the reviewers. Authors are not required to anonymize their manuscripts before submission. However, they should avoid unnecessary self-promotion or language that could bias the review process.

To be considered for publication in this journal, a manuscript must meet the following criteria:

• It is an original work that has not been published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
• It provides clear and strong evidence to support its conclusions.
• It is a result of research or a literature study in the field of mathematics.
• It is of potential interest to researchers in mathematics and related disciplines.

In general, to be acceptable, a manuscript should represent a significant advance in understanding and have the potential to influence thinking in the relevant field.
