Online Submission Guidelines

Berkala Ilmiah Pertanian (BIP) exclusively utilizes the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform to manage all manuscript submissions, peer reviews, and editorial workflows.

Important Policy: All submissions must be made strictly through the official OJS online portal. Submissions via email, postal mail, or any channel outside the OJS system will not be processed or accepted for review.

1. Account Registration & Login

To initiate a new submission or track an existing manuscript, authors must create an account or log in to the journal portal:

• Register / Login Link: https://bip.journal.unej.ac.id/login

• Creating an Account: New authors must register on the platform, filling in all required profile details, including full name, primary institutional affiliation, official email address, and ORCID iD.

• Role Selection: When registering, ensure the Author role is enabled to allow manuscript submission access.
  
  

2. Author Metadata & Corresponding Author Responsibility

• Accuracy of Author Names and Affiliations: Authors must verify that all co-author names, institutional affiliations, official email addresses, and ORCID iDs are complete and correct at the time of initial submission in the OJS metadata.

• Strict Author List Policy (No Additional Changes): No changes to the author list—including additions, deletions, reordering, or changes in institutional affiliations—will be accepted after the manuscript has been submitted to the OJS platform.

• Corresponding Author Responsibility: The designated Corresponding Author assumes full operational, legal, and ethical responsibility for managing all communications, responding to editorial queries, uploading revised manuscripts, and ensuring all co-authors approve every stage of peer review and the final publication proof.
  
  

3. Pre-Submission Checklist

Before uploading files on OJS, authors must ensure compliance with the following:

• Exclusive OJS Channel: The manuscript is submitted solely through the journal's OJS web portal.

• Originality & Double Submission: The manuscript represents original, unpublished work and is not under consideration elsewhere.

• File Format: The main manuscript file must be uploaded in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx).

• Anonymization for Double-Blind Review: The primary manuscript file must be completely anonymized (remove author names, affiliations, email addresses, and self-identifying references in text or document properties). All author details must be entered exclusively in Step 3 (OJS Metadata).

• Formatting & Template: The manuscript must follow the official BIP Author Template (including structure, fonts, spacing, and APA 7th Edition citation style).

• Figures & Tables: Embedded directly within the main text file near their first mention.
  
  

4. Step-by-Step OJS Submission Workflow

After logging in at https://bip.journal.unej.ac.id/login, complete the 5-step submission wizard:

• Step 1: Start Submission

  • Select the relevant journal section (e.g., Research Articles).

  • Check off all OJS submission checklist items.

  • Agree to the Copyright Notice and Open Access Terms (CC BY 4.0).
    
    

• Step 2: Upload Manuscript File

  • Upload the main anonymized Word document (.doc / .docx).

  • Upload supplementary files (raw datasets, high-resolution figures, ethical clearance certificates) if applicable.
    
    

• Step 3: Enter Submission Metadata

  • Enter complete profiles for all co-authors (full names, correct affiliations, official emails, and ORCID iDs). Verify carefully, as no author additions or changes are permitted post-submission.

  • Designate the Corresponding Author (who will serve as the primary contact throughout peer review).

  • Enter the full title, abstract, and relevant keywords.
    
    

• Step 4: Upload Supplementary Files

  • Confirm attached files and verify that file labels contain no author identifiers.
    
    

• Step 5: Confirmation & Final Submit

  • Review all entered metadata and click Finish Submission. An automated tracking receipt with a unique ID will be generated.
    
    

5. Post-Submission & Peer-Review Tracking

• OJS Tracking: The Corresponding Author can monitor manuscript progress (e.g., In Review, Revisions Required, Accepted) at any time by logging into their account dashboard at https://bip.journal.unej.ac.id/login.

• Submitting Revisions: All revised files and point-by-point responses to reviewer comments must be submitted directly through the OJS author interface within the specified timeline.
