Peer Review Process

JUDIKA applies a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of published articles.

Review Stages

  1. Initial Screening
    • All submitted manuscripts are screened by the editorial team to ensure compliance with the journal’s scope and author guidelines.
    • Manuscripts that do not meet the criteria will be rejected at this stage.
  2. Plagiarism Check
    • Manuscripts are checked using plagiarism detection software.
    • Articles with high similarity will be returned to authors for revision or rejected.
  3. Double-Blind Peer Review
    • Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to two reviewers with expertise in the relevant field.
    • The review process is double-blind, meaning both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to ensure objectivity.
  4. Reviewer Evaluation
    Reviewers assess manuscripts based on:
    • Originality and contribution to the field of education.
    • Research methodology quality.
    • Clarity of results and discussion.
    • Relevance to the journal’s scope.
  5. Editorial Decision
    Based on reviewers’ recommendations, the editor will decide whether the manuscript is:
    • Accepted without revision.
    • Accepted with minor revision.
    • Accepted with major revision.
    • Rejected.
  6. Author Revision
    • Authors are required to revise manuscripts according to reviewers’ and editors’ comments.
    • Revised manuscripts will be re-evaluated before acceptance.
  7. Final Decision & Publication
  • The editor is responsible for the final acceptance decision.
  • Accepted articles proceed to production and are published as open access.
