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.

General Manuscript Formatting 

The following components are required:

• Abstract
• Keywords
• Full manuscript document (blinded - no author names, headers, acknowledgements), including title, abstract, keywords, manuscript body text, abbreviation list, figures’ and legends
• Tables (optional)
• Figures (optional)
• Supplementary files (optional)

1. Title Page 

A title page (separate from manuscript, will not be sent for reviewers) with all authors contact data, affiliations, ORCID, corresponding author’s full contact information, table of authorship contributions, and running head title. All these data are mandatory.

2. 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.

3. Style 

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. The manuscript should be written on A-4 size paper, single-spaced (margins: top 3, left 3, right 2, bottom 2), Font: Garamond 12. For convenience, please download this Template[u1] .

6. List of Abbreviations 

Limit the use of abbreviations to those that are widely recognized and easily understood. Avoid using abbreviations that are specific to a particular text. Abbreviations, acronyms, and initials should be defined upon their first use and then applied consistently throughout the text. References to manufacturers, commercial products, or equipment in the text should include the manufacturer's name and location in parentheses. A comprehensive list of all relevant abbreviations, arranged alphabetically, should be included in the main manuscript file just before the references. Abbreviations should adhere to standardized, internationally accepted terms.

7. Figure Legends 

The Legend should be included within the main manuscript, immediately following the list of abbreviations and/or references. For multipart figures, provide both unlabeled and labeled versions, using clear uppercase letters for labels. Legends should be 1.5-spaced and numbered to correspond with the figures. Each symbol, arrow, number, or letter used for identification should be clearly explained in the legend. For microphotographs, include definitions of internal scale marks and specify the staining method used.

References should follow APA 7th Edition style and be arranged in the order in which they appear first in the text. Each in-text citation must include the author's name and year of publication in the format (Author Name, Year). The reference list should be provided in a separate list at the end of the manuscript and arranged alphabetically by first author name. When quoting from other sources, include the author's name and year of publication in the text or at the end of the quotation. Personal communications, proceedings and unpublished data should be mentioned in the text in brackets and not included in the reference list. Authors may use various reference manager programmes where possible. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the references. For references from journals, include the full names of all authors if there are up to 20 authors; if more than 20, mention the first 19 authors followed by '...' and the name of the last author, the title of the article, the journal name in italics, the volume, and the page.

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.

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.
