Peer Review Process

In this area, we will explain the Peer-Review Process, Submission Process, and steps toward Publication in Edukimia. In general, there are 8 (eight) steps that authors need to pass to publish their manuscripts in Edukimia.

  1. Beginning of Submission
    • First, the author(s) need to submit their manuscript through Edukimia official website.
    • Editor then will do initial screening based on: Focus and Scope, Manuscript Template, Citation Style, Writing Style, and Turnitin for Plagiarism screening.
  2. Double-Blind
    • Then, if the manuscript passed this initial screening, the editor will blind the manuscript from any identity regarding author(s) that could be included in the documents. This will ensure that our assigned reviewers later on will have an unbiased review regarding your manuscript.
    • The manuscript then will be assigned to (at least) two reviewers.
  3. Review Stage
    • In this stage, the manuscript will be reviewed by reviewers, for at least two weeks prior to assignment date.
  4. Review Result
    • After reviewers submit their review result, the editor then will gather any result, whether in digital format, non-digital format, or from any forms assigned to them.
    • This result then will be blind again from any identity regarding the reviewer(s) that could be included in the documents.
    • The collected information then will be delivered to the author(s).
  5. Revision by Authors
    • Next, the author(s) will be given some time to revise their manuscript based on the review result.
    • If the revision is done, the author could submit their revision through the same submission ID.
  6. Content Check by Editor
    • Editor then will check the revision, based on the substance, revised contents, writing, and plagiarism screening.
    • These results then will be informed again to the author(s), whether there is any need to do revision again, or not.
      • If needed, the author(s) then will be asked to do revision toward his/her ongoing submission.
      • If not, the author(s) then will be asked for confirmation, whether they are willing to publish their ongoing submission in Edukimia.
  7. Copyediting
    • If confirmed, the editor then will send an invoice for publication fee payment.
    • Author(s) then will be needed to pay their publication fee.
    • After the author(s) paid their invoice, a receipt will be delivered too.
    • The Copyediting and proofreading process then will start.
  8. Publication
    • After the manuscript is finished, it will be published and disseminated through Edukimia official website, indexing websites, and official social media accounts of Edukimia.
    • The author(s) also will be notified regarding their published articles.
