Jurnal Kewarganegaraan is very interested in scientific and professional studies in the discourse and practice of citizenship.

We seek submissions articles that cross the lines of scientific disciplines (interdisciplinary perspectives) that aim at the development of citizenship studies and citizenship education in the local, national and global scope. This includes the exploration of issues and phenomena across the perspectives of law, politics, economics, geography, sociology, anthropology, ideology, history, psychology, pedagogy and temporality that are within the framework of citizenship studies and contribute to education for citizenship.

In this regard, the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan seeks to bring together various unique studies of citizenship. The unique study includes an analysis of how to learn citizenship in society; teaching and learning citizenship education in school and higher education, including the development of approaches, strategies, models, methods, media, content, sources, and evaluations of learning; Comparison of curriculum and practice across countries; and the renewal of the citizenship education learning system.

Peer Review Process

Jurnal Kewarganegaraan (English: Citizenship Journal) publishes research and study articles about civics and citizenship education. Only manuscripts of sufficient quality that meet the focus and scope of Jurnal Kewarganegaraan will be reviewed. Each article published passes the peer review process from designated experts. Each article published has gone through a peer-reviewed process by designated experts. They have experience in journal management and prestigious article publications. To ensure this, the manuscript will be sent to two reviewers (double-blind peer review/double anonymous peer review) in at least two rounds, meaning that the reviewer's and author's identities are concealed throughout the review process. Then, experts make decisions based on recommendations from several possibilities: rejected, requires revisions (minor or major), or accepted.

Afterward, the editor will send the final decision to the corresponding author. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible. 

More specifically, our editorial process is as follows:

1. Initial screening. All submissions are initially screened by the Editor in Chief for their conformity to Jurnal Kewarganegaraan’s scope and basic submission requirements and checked for plagiarism. Manuscripts that fail to abide by our ethical standards are immediately rejected, as are manuscripts that do not fit within the journal’s scope.

2. Reviewer assignment. Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are then handed over to a section editor, who will select at least two relevant reviewers and initiate the peer-review process.

3. Peer-review. During this stage, a reviewer will assess the content of the manuscript and provide their recommendation to the Editor in Chief. The review is done for 4-8 weeks.

4. First decision. Once both (or more) reviewers have submitted their recommendations, the manuscript is either rejected, asked for revisions (minor or major), or accepted as is. If it is accepted, the manuscript is returned to the submitting author for proofreading. The Editor in Chief makes the final decision to accept the manuscript based on the recommendation of the section editor and following approval by the editorial board.

5. Revision. A manuscript that requires revisions is returned to the submitting author, who will have up to four weeks to revise the manuscript. Once the revision is submitted, it is once again assessed by the section editor to determine whether the changes are adequate and appropriate, as well as whether the author(s) sufficiently responded to the reviewer’s comments and suggestions. If the revisions are deemed to be inadequate, this step is repeated (the manuscript is returned to the submitting author once more for further revision).

6. Final decision. Finally, the revised manuscript is either accepted or rejected, depending on whether the section editor and editor-in-chief have found the manuscript to have been improved to a level worthy of publication. If the author(s) are unable to make the required changes or have done so to a degree below Jurnal Kewarganegaraan’s standards, the manuscript is rejected.

7. Language editing. Once the manuscript is accepted, it is returned to the submitting author for the final editing of its language and content; these are changes that improve the readability of the article without changing the substance of the content. Jurnal Kewarganegaraan requires authors to return the manuscript with proof that changes have been made, which the editorial board will review before ultimately green-lighting the manuscript for publication.

8. Typesetting. The script is then adjusted to the template. The final version of the article, as it will appear in Kewarganegaraan, is returned to the submitting author for proofreading and final approval.

9. Publication. Congratulations! The published article will appear in the latest issue of Kewarganegaraan.

Publication Ethics

Introduction

A ‘code of conduct’ which outlines the desired behaviour and obligations of members of the scientific profession is needed in the publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal. Such of a code of conduct attempts to optimize the advantages of science to society and the profession. The advancement of science necessitates the sharing of knowledge, even though this may sometimes forego any immediate personal advantage.

Publishing scientific research in journals is one of the fundamental ways that Jurnal Kewarganegaraan serves the Civics and Citizenship education community. For this purpose, editors, reviewers, writers and publishers must maintain high ethical standards regarding manuscripts in the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan.

Editors

Editors have the following responsibilities:

• To decide which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. Editors are accountable and responsible for everything they publish.

• To decide to accept or reject a manuscript for publication with reference only to the manuscript’s importance, originality and clarity, and its relevance to the journal.

• To acknowledge receipt of submitted manuscripts and to ensure the fair, efficient and timely review process of submitted manuscripts.

• To assess manuscripts for the intellectual subject matter disregarding race, gender, religious belief, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors. 

• To guarantee that submitted manuscripts are handled in confidential conduct, with no details being disclosed to anyone, except for the reviewers, without the permission of the author, until a decision has been taken as to whether the manuscript is to be published.

• Not unveil any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone excluding the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

• Not to use for their research, work reported in unpublished submitted articles.

• To act in response to any suggestions of scientific misconduct or to convincing evidence that the main substance or conclusions of a published manuscript are mistaken, usually through consultation with the author. This may necessitate the publication of a formal withdrawal or amendment.

• To determine rationally responsive measures when ethical objections have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper, in association with the publisher (or society).

Reviewers

• Have a non-influenced review, neither by the author’s nationality, religious nor political beliefs’ of the author, gender nor other characteristics of the authors nor by commercial considerations.

• Treat any manuscripts received for review as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

• Not use information obtained during the peer-review process for their own or any other person’s or organization’s advantage or to disadvantage or discredit others.

• Recognize relevant published work that has not been referred by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be completed by pertinent reference.
