Peer Review Process & Workflow

Submitted manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process conducted by at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area.

  1. Initial Screening (Desk Review): The editorial team checks the manuscript for scope alignment, formatting compliance, and the presence of the 4 Mandatory Declarations (AI Usage, Author Contributions CRediT, Funding Statement, Conflict of Interest).
  2. Plagiarism & AI Screening: All submissions are screened using iThenticate, Turnitin, and Copyleaks prior to peer review. Submissions exceeding the 20% similarity threshold are returned or declined.
  3. Double-Blind Review: Anonymized manuscripts are sent to at least two qualified reviewers; both author and reviewer identities remain strictly masked throughout the workflow.
  4. Editorial Decision: Based on reviewer recommendations: Accept Submission, Revisions Required (Minor), Resubmit for Review (Major), Resubmit Elsewhere, or Decline Submission.
  5. Revision & Re-review: Authors must return revised drafts with a point-by-point response letter within the designated timeframe. Re-evaluations are conducted by the handling editor or re-sent to original reviewers.
  6. Final Decision & Production: Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting, DOI minting, and layout proofreading. Complete bibliographic details on the galley PDF are strictly synchronized with the OJS metadata portal.

Jurnal Teknologi dan Pendidikan strives for a rigorous yet efficient review process. On average, authors can expect a first decision within 7 days, a peer review period of 14 days, a total submission-to-acceptance time of approximately 28 days, and publication within 7 days of acceptance. Jurnal Teknologi dan Pendidikan is committed to a fair, transparent, and timely review process in accordance with best practices recommended by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics). To ensure complete editorial accountability, all published articles explicitly feature the complete genesis history (Received, Revised, Accepted, and Published dates).

Special Issue Policy

Jurnal Teknologi dan Pendidikan periodically publishes Special Issues dedicated to emerging and high-impact topics in technology and education. Special Issues are guest-edited by leading experts and undergo the same rigorous double-blind peer review process as regular submissions.

Proposals for Special Issues should include:

  • A clear title and description of the proposed theme;
  • Relevance to the journal's scope and current research trends;
  • Names, institutional affiliations, and Scopus/ORCID profiles of proposed Guest Editors;
  • Proposed milestone timeline for submission, review, and publication.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

Jurnal Teknologi dan Pendidikan recognizes the constructive assistance offered by Artificial Intelligence tools in scholarly writing while safeguarding academic transparency. The following policy applies to all submissions:

  • Transparent Disclosure: Authors must provide an explicit statement prior to References indicating whether or not AI-assisted tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly AI, Copilot) were utilized during linguistic polishing or proofreading.
  • AI Authorship Preclusion: In alignment with COPE standards, AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors because non-human software cannot assume legal or ethical accountability for research assertions.
  • Author Ownership & Integrity: Authors maintain full intellectual ownership and legal responsibility for the factual integrity, context, citations, and originality of their published work.
  • Permitted Scope: The use of AI is welcomed strictly for proofreading, grammar, and stylistic enhancement. Conceptual design, empirical data analysis, and substantive conclusions must reflect the authors' own scholarly synthesis.

This policy is fully harmonized with the position statement of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
