Peer Review Process

The first stage is an initial editorial review (also known as Desktop Review, Screening Review) by one of the section editors or editor-in-chief, resulting in a decision to send for peer review (stage 2) or editorial rejection.

If the manuscript passes to stage 2, a Section Editor will be assigned to manage the review process. Here, two members of Arsen's review panel will be assigned to review the paper. Our review panel consists of researchers and practitioners drawn from section editors and other experienced researchers. Reviewers selected to review articles are chosen based on their experience, expertise, and interests aligned with the focus of the article.

Arsen uses a double-blind review process. In it, the reviewers know the identity of the authors, but the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers. No direct communication is allowed between reviewers and authors.

Articles will be reviewed based on the following criteria:

Contribution to advancing educational research knowledge.
Quality of critical engagement with relevant literature (literature review and discussion)
Clarity of research objectives
Clarity and justification of appropriate methodology
Quality of empirical data, analysis, presentation, and interpretation of results
Inclusion of appropriate implications for further research, theory, practice, and/or policy.
Quality of writing (including structure, writing style, and clarity of expression)
The editor will notify you of the review results as soon as possible, hopefully within 14 to 30 days.

The editor will perform a plagiarism check using Plagiarism Checker X for submitted articles before sending them to reviewers. We will not process plagiarized content. If an article has more than 20% plagiarism based on the check results, it will be rejected. This journal is conducted using Mendeley or Endnote as a Reference Manager Tool. The language used in this journal is Indonesian.

Accepted research articles will be made available online (free download) after the journal's peer-review process. The final decision on article acceptance will be made by the Editor in accordance with the Reviewer's comments. Articles sent back to the author for revision should be returned to the editor without delay. Revised articles returned more than 20 days will be considered as new submissions. Revised articles can be submitted to editorial via the Online Submission Interface on our online Journal website.
