Peer Review Process
Wiyatamandala: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pengajaran is an international electronic journal published by Universitas Pamulang. Each submitted manuscript undergoes a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality, originality, relevance, and clarity of the research. The journal follows a double-blind review system, where both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.
The review process follows these steps:
- Initial Screening: The submitted manuscript is first reviewed by the editorial team to ensure it aligns with the journal’s focus and scope, adheres to the submission guidelines, and does not have major methodological flaws. A plagiarism check using Turnitin (or other plagiarism detection software) is also conducted. Manuscripts with more than 20% similarity will be returned to the author for revision.
- Peer Review: After passing the initial screening, the manuscript is sent to at least two anonymous reviewers who evaluate its originality, methodology, significance, and clarity of presentation.
- Author Revisions: Reviewers' comments and feedback are sent to the corresponding author for necessary revisions and responses. Authors are given a maximum of 20 days to submit the revised manuscript. If the revision exceeds this period, the manuscript may be considered as a new submission.
- Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editor makes the final decision regarding acceptance, minor/major revisions, or rejection of the manuscript.
- Publication: Once accepted, the final version of the manuscript will be processed for publication and made available online as Open Access, allowing free and permanent access for readers.
