Peer Review Process

The journal operates a peer review process and promotes Double blind reviewing. The acceptance or rejection of articles will be decided by the editorial boards based on the review results supplied by the reviewers. There are no communications between authors and editors concerning the rejection decision. The manuscript will be sent to at least two anonymous reviewers (Double Blind Review). Reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary actions and responses. The suggested decision will be evaluated in an editorial board meeting. Afterwards, the editor will send the final decision to the corresponding author.

Reviewers are given two weeks to review the assigned article. The editorial team will make a decision to accept or reject the article based on the results of the review conducted by the reviewer. If the reviewers give recommendations that are significantly different, the editor will assign 1 (one) additional reviewer to be considered in deciding on the article. The language used in this journal is English.

The author is expected to pay attention to the following points before entering the article in the Jo-ELT (Journal of English Language Teaching) Fakultas Pendidikan Bahasa dan Seni Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris IKIP:

1. Articles are not the result of the plagiarism of other people's articles. Jo-ELT (Journal of English Language Teaching) Fakultas Pendidikan Bahasa dan Seni Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris IKIP will ensure that every published article will not exceed 25% similarity Score (Articles found with plagiarism more than 25% are automatically rejected and authors are advised, if the article has a similarity below or equal to 20%). Plagiarism screening will be conducted by the Editorial Board using Turnitin® Plagiarism Checker.

2. The article entered is never published and is not in the process of being published in another journal.

3. The submitted articles are adjusted to the Jo-ELT (Journal of English Language Teaching) Fakultas Pendidikan Bahasa dan Seni Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris IKIP template.

Peer review is designed to assess the contribution, validity, relevance, quality and often the originality of articles for publication. Its ultimate purpose is to maintain the integrity of science by filtering out invalid or poor quality articles.

From a publisher's perspective, peer review functions as a filter for content, directing better quality articles to better quality journals and so creating journal brands.

Running articles through the process of peer review adds value to them. For this reason, publishers need to make sure that peer review is robust.

Reviewer can state the following four views for the submitted manuscript:

• Acceptance for publication
• Acceptance for publication after minor revision (it is decided after revisions are checked by the editorial board)
• Reviewing again after the major revision is done. After revision is made by the writers of the study, it is evaluated for the second tour.
• It is not published (rejection)

After the reviewers' evaluation is completed, the views of the Reviewer are examined at least two weeks by editors.

The editors give the final decision for the study by taking into consideration of views and suggestions of Reviewers. The final decision is sent to the author.
