Publication Ethics Statement
Ethical Guidelines
In research involving human subjects, the following ethical guidelines should be observed. All research should be conducted in accordance with the ethical principles applicable to educational research. Manuscripts describing research that poses a risk of harm to human subjects should include a statement that the experiments were conducted with the consent and understanding of the human subjects, as well as a statement that the responsible Ethics Committee has approved the research. Research involving animals is not accepted in this journal, as the focus of the journal is on educational research.
Adhere to the Ethics of Experimentation
Ensure that all research reported in the submitted paper has been conducted in an ethical and responsible manner, and complies with all relevant ethical codes in educational research. All original research papers involving humans in an educational context must include a written statement under the Ethics Approval section that includes the following:
-
The name of the ethics committee or institutional review board involved.
-
Ethics approval number or ID.
-
statement that the human participants have given informed consent before participating in the research.
Human Research

Online Manuscript Submission
The Journal of Educational Research and Evaluation (JPEP) uses an electronic submission system for the article submission process. Authors can submit their articles by first registering, logging into an account, and uploading manuscripts through our website (https://scholarhub.uny.ac.id/jpep/). On the main page, click the "Register" link to fill in demographic data and create an account, then click "Save". Once registration is complete, you will receive a notification via email containing your username and password. Use the information to log into the system and submit your manuscript. Follow the instructions provided to complete the submission according to the JPEP guidelines stated in these instructions. If you encounter any problems or have any questions, you can contact the JPEP Editorial Office (click on "Contact Us"). Adherence to the guidelines is essential, and non-compliant manuscripts will be returned to the author for correction prior to the peer review process.
Manuscript Peer Review Process
The Journal of Educational Research and Evaluation applies a double-blind peer review process. Manuscripts may be rejected without peer review by the Editor-in-Chief if they do not meet the submission guidelines or if they are outside the scope of the journal. The manuscript editor will check the scientific level of the manuscript and decide whether to invite reviewers. If the copy editor decides that the scientific quality of the manuscript is not good enough, he/she will give a "rejected" decision and return the manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief. If the copy editor decides that the manuscript is of high scientific quality, he/she will invite one or more reviewers.
The reviewers may request minor or major revisions, accept without revision, or reject the manuscript. Based on the report of the reviewers, the copy editor will request minor or major revisions, accept without revision, or reject the manuscript. If the copy editor decides that revisions are necessary, the manuscript is returned to the author to make revisions. Once the revisions are complete, the manuscript is sent back to the copy editor for review, and then sent to the Editor-in-Chief for a final decision.

Cover Letter
Manuscripts can be submitted with a cover letter detailing any previous publications or rejections from other journals. This letter allows authors to highlight the originality of their work and provide any additional information for the editorial staff and Editor in Chief. If the manuscript was previously rejected by another journal, the author should describe how it has been improved since. The lead or corresponding author must confirm that they had full access to all study data, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the data analyses and the decision to submit the manuscript. For revised manuscripts, a separate cover letter called "Revision Notes" is required, addressing all reviewer and editor comments. Even if the authors do not make changes based on some requests, responses should still be provided.

The Journal of Educational Research and Evaluation accepts single-spaced Microsoft Word files. The content of the manuscript should be provided without author information, page titles, acknowledgements, or embedded comments.

Authors’ Information
Corresponding Author
The corresponding author is responsible for handling all inquiries related to the manuscript and for managing reprint requests. Only one author can be designated as the “corresponding author,” and this role is purely administrative, serving to ensure consistent communication with the editorial office. This designation does not confer any special authority or responsibility over the content of the manuscript. The first or principal author does not have to be the corresponding author. Choose an author who will remain at the same address for an extended period and can address any post-publication correspondence. Additionally, the corresponding author must provide the affiliations, ORCID IDs, and contact details of all co-authors.
Information Required
Provide complete contact information for the corresponding author, including email address, mailing address, and telephone numbers. Academic affiliations for all co-authors are also required. This information should be submitted separately from the main text to facilitate anonymous peer review.
Submit the contact details and academic affiliations for all co-authors through the submission system, and designate the corresponding author. Ensure these details match those in the manuscript. Verify that all required statements and declarations are included and that any supplementary files are uploaded.
ORCID
To support an ethical, transparent, and fair peer review process, our journal is a member of ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID). ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from others with similar names and helps link researchers to their professional activities through manuscript and grant submissions.
As part of our submission process, we now collect ORCID IDs from corresponding authors. If you already have an ORCID ID, you will need to provide it during the online submission. If you do not have an ORCID ID, please visit the ORCID homepage for more information.

Article Types
Empirical Research:
Empirical research is a manuscript that includes original research that collects and analyses data to answer a specific research question within the field of education. These manuscripts should include a structured abstract that includes background, objectives, methods, results, and conclusions.
Meta-Analysis:
