Jurnal Pendidikan dan Keagamaan implements a rigorous peer‐review process to ensure the quality, originality, and academic integrity of each published manuscript. The journal uses a double-blind review system, meaning that both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review process.

1. Initial Screening

• Upon submission, the editorial team conducts an initial evaluation to ensure the manuscript aligns with the journal’s focus and scope.

• The editor checks for completeness, formatting compliance, and similarity index using plagiarism detection software.

• Manuscripts that do not meet basic requirements may be returned to authors for revision or rejected at this stage.

2. Assignment to Reviewers

• Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the manuscript's topic.

• Reviewers are selected based on academic qualifications, research experience, and publication history.

3. Double-Blind Review

• Reviewers evaluate the manuscript without knowing the identity of the authors, and authors do not know the reviewers’ identities.

• Reviewers assess:

  • Originality and contribution to the field

  • Theoretical and methodological rigor

  • Clarity and coherence of writing

  • Soundness of analysis and interpretation

  • Relevance to the journal’s scope

• Reviewers provide constructive feedback and recommend one of the following decisions:

  • Accept

  • Minor Revision

  • Major Revision

  • Reject

4. Review Result and Communication

• The editor compiles the reviewers’ comments and communicates the decision to the authors.

• If revisions are required, authors must respond to all comments point-by-point and resubmit the revised manuscript within the specified time.

5. Revised Manuscript Evaluation

• For minor revisions, the editor may directly evaluate the revision to determine suitability for publication.

• For major revisions, the revised manuscript may be sent back to the original reviewers for re-evaluation.

6. Final Decision

• The final decision to accept or reject a manuscript is made by the editorial board based on reviewers’ recommendations and editorial assessment.

• Accepted manuscripts proceed to the editing, proofreading, and layout stages.

7. Publication

• After passing the final editorial checks, the manuscript is scheduled for publication in the nearest issue of the journal.

• Authors receive a notification and may be asked to review the final proofs before publication.

8. Reviewer Ethics
Reviewers must:

• Maintain confidentiality of manuscript content

• Provide fair, objective, and timely reviews

• Disclose any conflicts of interest

• Decline review assignments if unqualified or if a conflict exists
