Peer Review Process

Paedagogia Islamica: Journal of Islamic Education Studies applies a rigorous peer review process to ensure the originality, academic quality, methodological soundness, ethical compliance, and scholarly contribution of every manuscript. All manuscripts are processed through editorial screening before being assigned to reviewers.

Review Model

The journal uses a double-blind peer review model. The identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential during the review process. Each manuscript that passes the initial editorial screening is normally reviewed by at least two reviewers with relevant expertise.

Review Stages
1. Initial Screening
The editorial team checks manuscript suitability, focus and scope alignment, formatting, metadata, originality, and ethical compliance.
2. Reviewer Assignment
Manuscripts that meet the basic requirements are assigned to reviewers based on expertise, research field, and absence of conflict of interest.
3. Review Evaluation
Reviewers assess originality, theoretical foundation, method, analysis, discussion, references, and contribution to Islamic education studies.
4. Editorial Decision
The editor considers reviewers’ recommendations and decides whether the manuscript is accepted, revised, resubmitted, or rejected.
Decision Categories
  • Accepted without revision.
  • Accepted with minor revision.
  • Major revision and resubmission required.
  • Rejected due to insufficient academic quality, ethical concerns, or incompatibility with the journal’s focus and scope.
Editorial Integrity

The peer review process is conducted independently from any publication fee, institutional interest, or personal relationship. Final publication decisions remain the responsibility of the editorial board.
