Peer reviewer

International Journal of Education Policy and Innovation (IJEPI)  aims to ensure that every published article meets scientific quality standards and academic ethics. The stages of this process are described as follows:

1. Manuscript Submission
Authors submit manuscripts through the International Journal of Education Policy and Innovation (IJEPI) online system. The editor conducts an initial evaluation to ensure the manuscript aligns with the journal's focus and scope and adheres to the submission guidelines.

2. Editor's Initial Assessment
Manuscripts that pass the initial selection process will proceed to the peer review stage. If they are deemed irrelevant or do not meet the journal's minimum standards, the editor reserves the right to reject the manuscript at this stage. Plagiarism checks are also performed using plagiarism detection software.

3. Peer Review Process
This journal implements a double-blind review system, where the identities of authors and reviewers are kept anonymous. The editor assigns reviewers with expertise in the manuscript's field of study. Reviewers are responsible for assessing the article's originality, methodological validity, scientific quality, and contribution to scientific development.

4. Reviewer Decision
After the review process, the reviewer will make one of four decisions: accept without revision, accept with minor revisions, accept with major revisions, or reject. The reviewer will also provide constructive notes and suggestions to help the author improve the manuscript.

5. Manuscript Revision
If revisions are requested, the author will be given time to revise the manuscript based on the reviewer's input. The revisions will be re-evaluated by the editor and, if necessary, resubmitted to the reviewer.

6. Editor's Final Decision
The editor will make the final decision based on the reviewer's recommendations, whether to accept, revise, or reject the manuscript.

7. Publication
Received manuscripts will be further processed in the final editing stage before being scheduled for publication in the appropriate journal issue. Authors will be informed of the manuscript's publication date.
