Peer Review Process
- Author submits manuscript to journal through our online journal system (OJS).
- All manuscripts submitted to this journal must follow focus and scope, and author guidelines of this journal. The submitted manuscripts must address scientific merit or novelty appropriate to the focus and scope. All manuscripts must be free from plagiarism contents. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software to do the similarity checking. Editors will check the each manuscripts' similarity rate using the Turnitin software.
- The Editor-in-Chief (EIC) will check the feasibility of the topic for possible publication. Suitable manuscripts are submitted to the editors for further processing. Manuscripts not suitable for publication will be rejected.
- The EIC will check the completeness of provisionally accepted manuscripts based on the guidelines for authors, adherence to the journal’s templates, adequacy of references, originality (check on potential plagiarism issues), and accuracy of language.
- Manuscripts that meet the journal format and requirements will be forwarded to a minimum of two reviewers/ advisory editors under a double-blind process. Manuscripts that did not meet the requirements will be sent back to the author/s for revision. The reviewers give scientific valuable comments improving the contents of the manuscript. Based on the results of the peer review, the EIC decides whether a manuscript may be published without revisions, or be sent back to authors to perform minor revisions or major revisions; a manuscript may also be rejected. For a minor revision, the authors are requested to submit a final version of the manuscript with the required changes. For a major revision, a final version of the manuscript will be resubmitted to the peer reviewers for re-evaluation. In this case, the peer review process begins anew.
Open Access Policy
This is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available to users or/institutions. Allowing open access to the journal’s contents is based on the principle that making research results freely available to the public supports and enhances a global exchange of knowledge.
Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to full text articles in this journal without asking prior permission from the publisher or author. This is in accordance with Budapest Open Access Initiative.
Budapest Open Access Initiative
For various reasons, this kind of free and unrestricted online availability, which we will call open access, has so far been limited to small portions of the journal literature. But even in these limited collections, many different initiatives have shown that open access is economically feasible, that it gives readers extraordinary power to find and make use of relevant literature, and that it gives authors and their works vast and measurable new visibility, readership, and impact. To secure these benefits for all, we call on all interested institutions and individuals to help open up access to the rest of this literature and remove the barriers, especially the price barriers, that stand in the way. The more who join the effort to advance this cause, the sooner we will all enjoy the benefits of open access.
The literature that should be freely accessible online is that which scholars give to the world without expectation of payment. Primarily, this category encompasses their peer-reviewed journal articles, but it also includes any unreviewed preprints that they might wish to put online for comment or to alert colleagues to important research findings. There are many degrees and kinds of wider and easier access to this literature. By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.
While the peer-reviewed journal literature should be accessible online without cost to readers, it is not costless to produce. However, experiments show that the overall costs of providing open access to this literature are far lower than the costs of traditional forms of dissemination. With such an opportunity to save money and expand the scope of dissemination at the same time, there is today a strong incentive for professional associations, universities, libraries, foundations, and others to embrace open access as a means of advancing their missions. Achieving open access will require new cost recovery models and financing mechanisms, but the significantly lower overall cost of dissemination is a reason to be confident that the goal is attainable and not merely preferable or utopian.
To achieve open access to scholarly journal literature, we recommend two complementary strategies.
I. Self-Archiving: First, scholars need the tools and assistance to deposit their refereed journal articles in open electronic archives, a practice commonly called, self-archiving. When these archives conform to standards created by the Open Archives Initiative, then search engines and other tools can treat the separate archives as one. Users then need not know which archives exist or where they are located in order to find and make use of their contents.
II. Open-access Journals: Second, scholars need the means to launch a new generation of journals committed to open access, and to help existing journals that elect to make the transition to open access. Because journal articles should be disseminated as widely as possible, these new journals will no longer invoke copyright to restrict access to and use of the material they publish. Instead they will use copyright and other tools to ensure permanent open access to all the articles they publish. Because price is a barrier to access, these new journals will not charge subscription or access fees, and will turn to other methods for covering their expenses. There are many alternative sources of funds for this purpose, including the foundations and governments that fund research, the universities and laboratories that employ researchers, endowments set up by discipline or institution, friends of the cause of open access, profits from the sale of add-ons to the basic texts, funds freed up by the demise or cancellation of journals charging traditional subscription or access fees, or even contributions from the researchers themselves. There is no need to favor one of these solutions over the others for all disciplines or nations, and no need to stop looking for other, creative alternatives.
Open access to peer-reviewed journal literature is the goal. Self-archiving (I.) and a new generation of open-access journals (II.) are the ways to attain this goal. They are not only direct and effective means to this end, they are within the reach of scholars themselves, immediately, and need not wait on changes brought about by markets or legislation. While we endorse the two strategies just outlined, we also encourage experimentation with further ways to make the transition from the present methods of dissemination to open access. Flexibility, experimentation, and adaptation to local circumstances are the best ways to assure that progress in diverse settings will be rapid, secure, and long-lived.
The Open Society Institute, the foundation network founded by philanthropist George Soros, is committed to providing initial help and funding to realize this goal. It will use its resources and influence to extend and promote institutional self-archiving, to launch new open-access journals, and to help an open-access journal system become economically self-sustaining. While the Open Society Institute's commitment and resources are substantial, this initiative is very much in need of other organizations to lend their effort and resources.
We invite governments, universities, libraries, journal editors, publishers, foundations, learned societies, professional associations, and individual scholars who share our vision to join us in the task of removing the barriers to open access and building a future in which research and education in every part of the world are that much more free to flourish.

Introduction
Indonesian Journal on Learning and Advanced Education (IJOLAE) is an international journal publishing a peer-reviewed articles. In addition to addressing allegations of research misconduct, this statement clarifies the ethical behaviour of all parties involved in the publication of an article in this journal, including the author, the chief editor, the Editorial Board, the peer reviewers, and the publisher (Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta). This assertion is based on the latest updates of Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors issued by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Journal Production Ethical Standards
A crucial component in the creation of a well-organized and reputable knowledge network is the publishing of an article in a peer-reviewed journal. The calibre of the writers' work and the organizations that support them are reflected in it. Peer-reviewed publications uphold and represent the scientific process. As a consequence, it's essential that all parties engaged in the publication process—the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher, and the society—agree on certain ethical criteria.
As the publisher of Indonesian Journal on Learning and Advanced Education (IJOLAE), Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta takes its guardianship responsibilities over all publication phases extremely seriously. We are also conscious of our other duties and ethical obligations. We are devoted to preventing commercial revenue—whether from advertising, reprints, or other sources—from influencing editorial choices. Additionally, when required, the Editorial Board and the Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta will support interactions with other journals and/or publishers.
Allegations of Research Misconduct
The term "research misconduct" refers to fabrication, falsification, citation manipulation, or plagiarism in the creation, execution, or evaluation of research, in the authoring of papers by authors, or in the reporting of study findings. Editors have a duty to maintain the truth and integrity of the scientific record when authors are implicated in research misconduct or other major anomalies regarding publications published in scientific journals.
The Editors and Editorial Board shall use COPE best practices to handle complaints and equitably address alleged misbehaviour in such circumstances. The Editors will look into the claim. Any manuscript found to include this kind of misbehaviour will be disregarded. A retraction may be written and published with a link to the original article if such misbehaviour is found in a work that has already been published.
Finding out if the claim is true and fits the description of research misconduct is the first step. This first phase also entails figuring out if the people who are accused of misbehaviour have relevant conflicts of interest.
The corresponding author is informed of any claims of scientific misconduct or other substantial research irregularities and is invited to react in-depth on behalf of all co-authors. It is possible to request extra assessment and the involvement of professionals (such statistical reviewers) after receiving and evaluating the answer. Clarifications, new analyses, or both, published as letters to the editor, often with a correction notice and modification to the original article, are adequate in situations when it is improbable that wrongdoing took place.
Institutions are required to investigate claims of scientific misconduct properly and completely. The veracity of the scientific record is a crucial responsibility shared by authors, journals, and organizations. By reacting correctly to complaints about scientific misconduct and taking the required steps based on these concerns, such as corrections, retractions with replacement, and retractions, Indonesian Journal on Learning and Advanced Education (IJOLAE) will keep up its obligation to ensure the validity and integrity of the scientific record.
Publishing Decisions
The editor of the Indonesian Journal on Learning and Advanced Education (IJOLAE) is in responsibility of selecting the papers that should be published in the journal. The validity of the relevant work and its worth to scholars and readers must always be taken into consideration when making such choices. The editorial board's rules may serve as a guide for the editors, and they are also constrained by any applicable laws pertaining to plagiarism, copyright infringement, and libel at the time. The editors may confer with additional editors or reviewers before making this decision.
Complaints and Appeals
For handling complaints concerning the journal, its editorial staff, editorial board, or its publisher, Indonesian Journal on Learning and Advanced Education (IJOLAE) shall have a well outlined system. Regarding the complaint situation, the complaints will be explained to respectable people. Any aspect of the journal business process might be the subject of a complaint, including the editing process, unethical editors/reviewers, peer review manipulation, and so on. According to COPE standards, the complaints will be addressed. Emails containing complaints should be submitted to [email protected].
