Panduan Penulis

Jurnal Profesi Pendidikan (JPP) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by PPG IKIP Siliwangi in collaboration with Forum Penyelenggara Pendidikan Profesi Guru (FP-PPG). The journal is published twice a year, in June and December. Manuscripts must fall within the journal’s Focus and Scope and follow the JPP Template.

1. Manuscript Type

JPP accepts original research articles reporting empirical studies on teaching and learning, including classroom action research, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research, Didactical Design Research (DDR), and Research and Development (R&D). Manuscripts must be original, must not have been published previously, and must not be under consideration by another journal.

2. Language

Manuscripts may be written in English or Indonesian. The title, abstract, and keywords must be written in English. Authors are encouraged to ensure proper language use before submission.

3. Authorship Criteria

Each person listed as an author must meet all of the following criteria:

1. a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the study, or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data;
2. drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content;
3. approval of the final version to be published; and
4. accountability for the accuracy and integrity of all parts of the work.

Contributors who do not meet these criteria should be listed in the Acknowledgments. The contribution of each author must be stated using the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy). The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors have approved the author order and the final manuscript before submission. Generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors.

4. Manuscript Submission

All manuscripts must be submitted through the journal’s online submission system. Authors must register before submitting. To support double-blind peer review, authors must upload two separate files:

• Title Page: article title, full names of all authors, institutional affiliations, countries, ORCID iDs, and the corresponding author’s email address.

• At least 80% of the references must be primary sources (journal articles, theses, or conference proceedings), and at least 75% must have been published within the last five years.
• Authors are responsible for the accuracy of all references; fabricated or unverifiable references will lead to rejection.

8. Research Ethics

Studies involving human participants must state that the procedures complied with relevant ethical standards and, where applicable, were approved by an ethics committee or institutional review board. Informed consent must be obtained from all participants; for studies involving children, consent from parents or guardians and assent from the children are required. Participants’ identities must be protected.

9. Review Process

Manuscripts are first screened by the editor for scope, template compliance, and similarity (maximum 20%, checked with Turnitin). Eligible manuscripts are reviewed by at least two independent reviewers under a double-blind process, which takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks. Editorial decisions are: Accept, Accept with Revisions, Resubmit for Review, or Reject. See the Peer Review Process for details.

10. Revision

Revised manuscripts must be returned within four weeks, together with a response letter addressing each reviewer comment. Revisions received after this period may be treated as new submissions.
