Initial evaluation of manuscripts
The editor will first evaluate all submitted manuscripts. Although rare, it is feasible for an exceptional manuscript to be accepted at this stage. Those rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, or are outside the aims and scope of the Fikrotuna: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Manajemen Islam. Those that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to experts for review.
Type of peer review
The review process employs a double-masked review, which means that both the reviewer's and author's identities are concealed from the reviewers and vice versa.
Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates the already published works, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication. Other rounds of review processes would be done should the first round be inadequate.
Review reports
Reviewers are asked to evaluate whether the manuscript:
- Is original by stating the objectives and gap clearly
- Is methodologically sound
- Follows appropriate ethical guidelines
- Has results/findings which are presented and support the conclusions
- Correctly references previous relevant work
- Reviewers are not expected to correct or copyedit manuscripts. Language correction is not part of the peer review process.
Decision
Reviewers advise the editor, responsible for the final decision to accept or reject the article. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports, and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board. Editor’s decision is final.
