The Journal of English Language and Pedagogy (JELPA) processes submitted articles for publication within a timeframe ranging from one to two months. All submitted papers must not have been previously published or submitted to the other journal. Below is the process:

1. Submission of Articles

• Authors upload their articles.
• The editor receives the articles for evaluation.

 

2. Initial Check by the Editor

• The editor conducts an initial check on the articles to ensure alignment with the journal's scope and to check for plagiarism.
• Articles that pass the initial check proceed to the next stage, while those that do not pass are rejected.

 

3. Assignment of Section Editor

• The editor assigns a section editor to manage the articles and forward them to reviewers.

 

4. Review Process by Reviewers

• The section editor assigns two reviewers to review the articles.
• Reviewers are given two weeks to review the articles and provide evaluations and recommendations.
• Articles that receive positive reviews from both reviewers proceed to the next stage.

 

5. Decision by Section Editor

• The section editor receives the review results and recommendations from the reviewers.
• The section editor has full authority to determine whether the articles are suitable for publication based on the review results and recommendations.

 

6. Notification to Authors

• The section editor stops at this stage; this process will be carried out by the editor who assigns copyeditor and proof-reader.
  • Copyediting Process: The copyeditor will adjust the article template and conduct plagiarism checks. If the plagiarism exceeds 25%, the article will be returned to the author for revision.
