PEER REVIEW PROCESS
Jurnal Pendidikan Indonesia follows a rigorous and transparent peer-review process to uphold the quality, integrity, and credibility of published articles. The journal applies a single-blind peer-review system, in which the reviewers remain anonymous to the authors, while the authors’ identities are disclosed to the reviewers. This approach ensures a fair and objective evaluation of manuscripts while maintaining high academic standards.
Each submission is evaluated for originality, relevance, methodological rigor, and contribution to the field before a final publication decision is made.
Submission and Initial Evaluation
Upon submission, every manuscript undergoes an initial screening by the editorial team. The manuscript is assessed for its relevance to the journal’s scope, compliance with submission guidelines, and overall academic quality. Manuscripts that meet the journal’s standards are assigned a unique identification number and proceed to the peer-review stage.
Peer Review
This journal operates a single-blind review policy in which the reviewer’s identity is concealed from the submitting author. Authors are required to present their work honestly and transparently, without fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or inappropriate data manipulation.
Submitted manuscripts are evaluated by at least two independent reviewers who are either members of the Editorial Board or experts of similar standing in the relevant field. Reviewers assess the manuscript’s contribution, originality, relevance, and clarity of presentation.
The Editor will notify authors of the review outcome within a maximum period of eight (8) weeks. The Editors’ decision is final. All correspondence, including decisions and revision requests, will be communicated via email.
