  • Presents an appropriate level of scholarly quality.

  • Contains the necessary declarations and supporting information.

  • Raises apparent concerns regarding originality, research ethics, or publication integrity.

The editor may reject a manuscript at this stage if it is unsuitable for the journal or does not meet the minimum requirements for further consideration.

2. Peer Review

Manuscripts that pass initial screening may be sent to independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise.

Jurnal Pendidikan dan Penciptaan Seni uses a double blind peer review or double-anonymous peer review. The journal should state the actual review model consistently across its website and submission system.

Reviewers assess the manuscript's originality, theoretical foundation, research design, analytical procedures, interpretation of results, contribution to the field, clarity, and references.

3. Reviewers' Recommendations

Reviewers may recommend:

  • Acceptance.

  • Minor revision.

  • Major revision.

  • Rejection.

These recommendations are advisory. The editor makes the final decision after considering the reviewers' assessments, the manuscript's quality, and the journal's editorial standards.

Authors receiving a revision decision must submit a revised manuscript and a point-by-point response to the reviewers' comments within the deadline specified by the editorial office.

Authors should explain how each comment has been addressed. If they disagree with a recommendation, they should provide a reasoned academic explanation.

A revised manuscript may be returned to the original reviewers or evaluated by the editor, depending on the nature of the revisions.

Editors and reviewers must treat manuscripts as confidential documents. Unpublished information must not be used for personal advantage.
