Peer-Review Process

Jurnal Didaktika Pendidikan Dasar adheres to a Double-Blind Peer-Review process that is rapid and fair and also ensures a high quality of articles published. This statement is based on the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Code of Conduct and Best Practice Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers. All submitted papers are subject to a double-blind review process. The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is based upon their reports/recommendations. In certain cases, the editor may submit an article for review to another, the third reviewer before making a decision, if necessary.

The peer-review process is a Double-Blind Review. Both the reviewer and the author are anonymous. Author anonymity prevents any reviewer bias, for example, based on an author's country of origin or previous controversial work. The reviewers will then submit their reports on the manuscripts along with their recommendation of one of the following actions to the Editor:

Accept Submission;
Revisions Required;
Resubmit for Review;
Resubmit Elsewhere;
Decline Submission;
See comments.

Papers with revised categories will be returned to the authors by the Editor. Authors are given a maximum of 4 weeks from the date of notification to make revisions. After 4 weeks, the revised manuscript will be considered a new submission. In addition, the manuscript may be returned to the author by the Editor prior to review, if the manuscript is judged to be out of scope, outside the limits of word length guidelines, or not adequately prepared for publication.

Review Guidelines

Jurnal Didaktika Pendidikan Dasar adheres to a Double-Blind Peer-Review process that is rapid and fair and also ensures a high quality of articles published.
Papers submitted to the Jurnal Didaktika Pendidikan Dasar will be examined by the editorial team regarding their scope, writing style, and plagiarism. Manuscripts that meet the criteria for the focus and scope of the journal will proceed to a review process which will at least be reviewed by reviewers who are committed to the double-blind review system. A reviewer is a journal partner of experts in the field in accordance with the scope of the journal. The editor will send an e-mail via OJS to the selected reviewer regarding the title and content of the manuscript, as well as an invitation to enter the journal website to complete the review process. Reviewers log on to the journal's website to approve reviews, download manuscripts, post comments, and select recommendations. The review process by reviewers is carried out in at least 4-5 weeks. The results will be returned to the author for action. Manuscripts that meet the requirements will be published.

Promptness

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
