Peer Review Process

Submissions should be prepared under the Author Guidelines. The manuscript may be returned to authors without a scientific assessment if they do not meet all submission requirements, are not in the correct format, found indication of publication malpractice, or cannot be downloaded reliably.

Submissions must represent the original and independent work of the authors. Principal Editor assesses each new submission to determine whether it falls within the general remit of Journal of Nusantara Education. We will reject a manuscript without review if it contains insufficient content; it exceeds our word limit or is incorrectly formatted; it is poorly presented and unclear, or there are indication of plagiarism. Principal Editor or Associate Editor will handle manuscripts that pass the initial assessment to oversee the review process for contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation.

Once a manuscript passes the initial checks, it will be assigned to independent experts for peer review. A double blind review is applied, where authors' identities are unknown to reviewer (the editor will delete the author’s name prior to sending it to assign to reviewer). Peer review comments are confidential and will only be disclosed with the express agreement of the reviewer. All manuscripts are subject to peer review, and authors can expect a decision, or an explanation for the delay, within two months of receipt. The corresponding author should submit the revised manuscript within two weeks if a revision is invited. Principal Editors make the final decision based on the information gained through the peer-review process.

As explained in publication ethics, we ensure that the reviewed manuscript is treated confidentially before publication.
