Types of Peer Review
The steps for academic articles and research articles to be published in the journal are as follows:
1. The submitted academic articles and research articles will undergo an initial review by the editorial board, which may accept or reject the submission.
2. If the articles pass the initial review, they will undergo a peer review by at least three experts in the relevant field to assess the quality. This is done through a Double-Blind Peer Review process, where the reviewers do not know the authors' identities and vice versa. The articles must be accepted by the reviewers for publication.
3. The journal's editorial board will consider the evaluation results from the three reviewers, with possible outcomes being: 1) acceptance without revisions, 2) revisions required based on the reviewers' recommendations, and 3) rejection.
Publication Frequency
The journal is published biannually, with two issues per year:
- Issue 1: January to June
- Issue 2: July to December
