Peer Review Process
Arsya Insight Journal of Teaching and Learning is committed to maintaining high standards of scholarly integrity and quality. All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure academic excellence, originality, and relevance.
1. Initial Desk Review
-
Upon submission, all manuscripts are first evaluated by the Managing Editor/Editor-in-Chief.
-
The initial screening assesses whether the paper aligns with the journal's Focus and Scope, adheres to the author guidelines, and meets basic academic writing standards.
-
Manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using similarity-checking software (e.g., Turnitin). Papers with an overall similarity index exceeding 20% will be returned for revision or rejected outright.
2. Peer Review Method (Double-Blind Peer Review)
-
This journal operates a Double-Blind Peer Review process:
-
The identities of both the authors and the reviewers are kept strictly anonymous throughout the process.
-
Authors must ensure their submitted manuscript is fully anonymized (removing author names, affiliations, and self-identifying references).
-
3. Reviewer Assignment & Evaluation
-
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two (2) independent peer reviewers who are experts in the relevant subject area.
-
Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on:
-
Originality, novelty, and scientific contribution.
-
Methodological rigor and theoretical framework.
-
Clarity of presentation and structure.
-
Practical implications for teaching and learning.
-
-
Reviewers are expected to complete their evaluation within 2 to 3 weeks.
4. Editorial Decision
Based on the detailed reports and recommendations provided by the reviewers, the Editor-in-Chief/Handling Editor will make one of the following decisions:
-
Accept Submission: The manuscript is accepted for publication without any further changes.
-
Revisions Required (Minor Revisions): The author must address specific minor comments within a specified timeframe (usually 1–2 weeks). The editor will review the revised version.
-
Resubmit for Review (Major Revisions): The manuscript requires significant revisions (e.g., additional analysis, rewriting sections). The revised paper will be sent back to the original or new reviewers for a second round of review.
-
Decline Submission: The manuscript is rejected due to major methodological flaws, lack of novelty, or irrelevance to the journal's scope.
5. Revision & Final Approval
-
Authors receiving a request for revision must submit their revised manuscript along with a point-by-point response letter detailing how each reviewer's comment was addressed.
-
The Editor-in-Chief retains the ultimate authority for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of any submission.
