Peer Review Process

Jambura Journal of Community Empowerment (JJCE) is a scientific, peer-reviewed and open access journal established for the dissemination of cutting-edge knowledge in the field of community education, published by the Department of Out-of-School Education, Faculty of Education, Gorontalo State University. Manuscripts will be sent to at least two anonymous referees for contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation (double-blind review). Reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary action and response. The editor will notify you of the results of the review as soon as possible, expected within 30 to 60 days. Submitted manuscripts are first reviewed by the editor. It will be evaluated in the office as to whether it fits the focus and scope of the Jambura Journal of Community Empowerment or has a major methodological flaw and similarity score.

The editor will run a plagiarism check using Turnitin (Web Checker) for the submitted article before sending it to the reviewer. We do not process any plagiarized content. If an article has more than 20% plagiarism based on the inspection results, we will send the article back to the author for revision for the plagiarized content. Journal creation is done using Mendeley as a Reference Management Tool. The language used in this journal is English.

The accepted research articles will be available online (free download) following the journal peer-reviewing process. The final decision of article acceptance will be made by Editors according to Reviewers' comments. The articles sent back to the authors for revision should be returned to the editor without delay. The revised article returned later than 20 days will be considered as new submissions. The revised article can be sent to the editorial through the Online Submission Interface.
