Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to the Nusantara Education Journal undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the integrity, quality, and academic value of each published article. This process is designed to provide constructive feedback to authors and to maintain the highest standards of scholarly publication.

Review Stages:

  1. Initial Screening: The editorial team conducts an initial assessment to determine the manuscript’s relevance to the journal’s scope, formatting compliance, and similarity check (plagiarism tolerance is up to 25%).

  2. Double-Blind Review: Suitable manuscripts are sent to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the field. Both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other.

  3. Review Criteria: Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on originality, clarity, methodology, relevance, ethical standards, and contribution to the field of education.

  4. Decision Categories:

    • Accept without revision

    • Accept with minor revisions

    • Revise and resubmit (major revisions)

    • Reject

  5. Revision Process: Authors are expected to address reviewer comments and submit revised manuscripts within the specified timeline. Revised versions may be sent back to the reviewers for a second round of evaluation.

  6. Final Decision: The Editor-in-Chief, in consultation with the editorial board, makes the final decision based on the reviewers' recommendations.

Review Timeline

The review process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and the complexity of the manuscript.

The Nusantara Education Journal values ethical and unbiased reviewing, and reviewers are selected based on their subject matter expertise and commitment to academic quality.
