Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

Research articles or Manuscripts submitted to Pendar: Jurnal Pengajaran dan Riset are initially reviewed by the editors for general fit with the Pendar: Jurnal Pengajaran dan Riset focus and scope and for the writing quality. Only those research articles meeting the Pendar: Jurnal Pengajaran dan Riset focus and scope will be sent to reviewers for a double blind review. Review time is typically 2-3 months. Two reviewers will be assigned to evaluate the research articles or manuscripts on the basis of their expertise. Reviewers are expected to return their reviews within 2 weeks. A third reviewer will be appointed in case one of the reviewers disagrees upon the quality of the research article for publication. The assigned reviewers evaluate the research articles by using a standard manuscript evaluation form. They are required to treat all the information in the research articles as confidential. Views of the assigned reviewers serve as a guide to Pendar: Jurnal Pengajaran dan Riset editors to make a final decision on the research articles. Final decision always belongs to Pendar: Jurnal Pengajaran dan Riset editors. Those manuscripts that are judged by the editors and assigned editors to be inappropriate are rejected promptly without external reviews.

 

The editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' advice, from among several possibilities:

|Accept as written without any revisions|

|Accept with minor revisions (a second round of review is not necessary)| 

|Accept with major revisions (a second round of review will be necessary)|

|Reject (the paper is not suitable for publication)|
