Peer Review Process

HISTORIA: Jurnal Pendidik dan Peneliti Sejarah applies a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from one another to ensure impartiality, confidentiality, and academic integrity. All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their relevance to the journal's focus and scope, originality, methodological quality, compliance with author guidelines, and adherence to publication ethics.

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the manuscript's subject area. Reviewers assess manuscripts based on the following criteria:

Relevance to the journal's focus and scope.
Originality, research gap, and scholarly contribution.
Quality and critical engagement with relevant literature.
Appropriateness and transparency of research methods.
Credibility of historical sources or empirical research evidence.
Depth of analysis, interpretation, and discussion.
Clarity of conclusions and their contribution to historical knowledge or history education.
Academic writing quality, citation accuracy, and compliance with publication ethics.

Based on the reviewers' evaluations, the editor may accept the manuscript, request revisions, require resubmission for further review, or reject the submission.

Authors receiving revision requests must submit a revised manuscript accompanied by a point-by-point response to reviewers' comments. Revised manuscripts may be returned to reviewers for further evaluation when necessary.

The final publication decision is made by the responsible editor based on the reviewers' recommendations, the quality of the manuscript, the adequacy of revisions, and the journal's editorial standards.

Reviewers and editors must maintain confidentiality, disclose potential conflicts of interest, and provide fair, objective, and constructive evaluations. Manuscripts must not be used or disclosed for personal or professional advantage. HISTORIA is committed to maintaining a transparent, rigorous, and ethical peer-review process in accordance with internationally recognized scholarly publishing standards.

Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

(Based on Elsevier recommendations and COPE's Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors)

Ethical guidelines for journal publication

The publication of an article in the peer-reviewed journals published by Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia is a process of permanent knowledge improvement. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher and the society of society-owned or sponsored journals.

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia takes their duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously and we recognise our ethical and other responsibilities.

We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprint or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. In addition, Editorial Board will assist in communications with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful to editors.

DUTIES OF AUTHOR(S)

Reporting standards

Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review and professional publication articles should also be accurate and objective, and editorial 'opinion' works should be clearly identified as such.

Data access and retention

Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from 'passing off' another's paper as the author's own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another's paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication

An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. In general, an author should not submit for consideration in another journal a previously published paper.

Acknowledgement of sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services.

Authorship of the paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Hazards and human or animal subjects

If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animal or human subjects, the author should ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and that the appropriate institutional committee(s) has approved them. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest which should be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest stage possible.

Fundamental errors in published works

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.

DUTIES OF EDITOR

Publication decisions

The editor of a peer-reviewed journal is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published, often working in conjunction with the relevant society (for society-owned or sponsored journals). The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editor may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers (or society officers) in making this decision.

Fair play

An editor should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality

The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Editors should recuse themselves (i.e. should ask a co-editor, associate editor or other member of the editorial board instead to review and consider) from considering manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or (possibly) institutions connected to the papers. Editors should require all contributors to disclose relevant competing interests and publish corrections if competing interest.

Author Fees / Article Processing Charges (APC) Policy

HISTORIA: Jurnal Pendidik dan Peneliti Sejarah is committed to maintaining transparency and fairness in its publication fee policy.

1. Article Processing Charges

HISTORIA applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of IDR 750,000 per accepted article.

The APC supports editorial administration, manuscript production, journal website maintenance, digital publication, and other operational activities associated with scholarly publishing.

2. Submission and Peer-Review Fees

HISTORIA does not charge authors for initial manuscript submission or peer review.

The APC is payable only after the manuscript has been formally accepted for publication.

3. Editorial Independence

Payment of the APC does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or publication.

All manuscripts undergo editorial screening and double-blind peer review in accordance with the journal's editorial policies.

Editorial decisions are based on scholarly originality, methodological rigor, research quality, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal's focus and scope, regardless of the authors' ability to pay.

4. Payment Procedures

Authors of accepted manuscripts will receive official payment instructions from the journal's editorial office.

Payments must be made only through payment channels officially designated by HISTORIA or its managing institution.

Authors are advised not to make payments based on unofficial requests or communications.

5. Fee Transparency

HISTORIA is committed to providing clear information about applicable publication charges before authors submit their manuscripts.

No additional publication-related charges will be imposed without prior disclosure and notification to the authors.

6. Reader Access

All published articles are freely accessible to readers without subscription fees or payment requirements, in accordance with the journal's Open Access Policy.

Plagiarism Policy

HISTORIA: Jurnal Pendidik dan Peneliti Sejarah is committed to maintaining academic integrity and preventing plagiarism in all published manuscripts. The journal requires authors to submit original scholarly work and properly acknowledge all sources, ideas, quotations, and research materials used in their manuscripts.

1. Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism includes presenting another person's words, ideas, research findings, historical interpretations, data, or other intellectual contributions as one's own without appropriate acknowledgment.

Forms of plagiarism may include:

Direct copying of text without proper quotation and citation.
Paraphrasing another author's ideas without acknowledgment.
Using historical evidence, archival interpretations, or research findings without appropriate attribution.
Reproducing tables, figures, or other scholarly materials without proper acknowledgment or necessary permission.
Submitting previously published material as new research without appropriate disclosure (text recycling or redundant publication).

2. Similarity Screening

All submitted manuscripts undergo similarity screening using Turnitin or other appropriate similarity-detection software before entering the peer-review process.

HISTORIA applies a maximum overall similarity threshold of 20% as an initial editorial screening criterion. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold may be returned to authors for clarification or revision or may be rejected following editorial assessment.

A similarity score of 20% or below does not automatically establish that a manuscript is free from plagiarism. Likewise, a score exceeding 20% does not necessarily indicate plagiarism.

Editorial decisions are based on qualitative examination of the similarity report, including the nature, extent, and context of textual overlap.

3. Assessment of Historical Sources

Because historical research frequently relies on quotations from primary sources, archival documents, historical newspapers, official records, and other documentary materials, HISTORIA distinguishes properly attributed historical evidence from unattributed textual reproduction.

The editorial team considers the following factors when evaluating similarity reports:

Properly cited direct quotations and historical source excerpts.
Reference lists, bibliographic information, and standard methodological expressions.
Commonly used historical terminology and established names of institutions or events.
Substantial textual overlap with previously published scholarly works.
Inadequate paraphrasing, missing citations, and unattributed reproduction of interpretations or findings.

Appropriately attributed historical quotations may be excluded from similarity calculations where the screening software permits, but they remain subject to editorial evaluation.

4. Editorial Procedures

When potentially problematic textual overlap is identified, the editorial team may:

Request clarification and supporting evidence from the author.
Require appropriate citation, paraphrasing, or manuscript revision.
Conduct additional similarity screening after revision.
Reject manuscripts containing substantial plagiarism or other serious breaches of academic integrity.
Refer serious or unresolved cases to the procedures established in the journal's Allegations of Research Misconduct Policy.

5. Plagiarism Identified After Publication

If plagiarism is suspected after publication, HISTORIA will investigate the allegation in accordance with its publication ethics policies.

Depending on the findings and severity of the violation, the journal may publish a correction, expression of concern, or retraction, following relevant guidance from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

6. Authors' Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are original, that all borrowed materials are properly acknowledged, and that the manuscript has not been published or submitted elsewhere in a manner that constitutes redundant publication.

Authors must accurately cite historical sources and relevant scholarship and must not fabricate quotations, archival references, or bibliographic information.

5. Retraction Notices and Article Preservation

When an article is retracted, HISTORIA will publish a clearly identified retraction notice stating the reasons for the retraction and identifying the party responsible for the decision.

The notice will be freely accessible and linked to the original article.

The original article will ordinarily remain available in the journal's electronic archive and will be clearly marked as RETRACTED to preserve the transparency and integrity of the scholarly record.

Article metadata and the journal website will be updated where technically possible to reflect the retraction status.

6. Requests for Corrections or Retractions

Authors, reviewers, readers, and other concerned parties may report errors or concerns about published articles through the journal's official editorial contact channels.

Requests should identify the article concerned and provide a clear explanation and supporting evidence.

The editorial team will evaluate requests fairly, confidentially where appropriate, and without unnecessary delay.

7. Relationship to Other Publication Ethics Policies

Concerns involving suspected plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, or other forms of research misconduct will also be handled in accordance with HISTORIA's Allegations of Research Misconduct Policy.

Scholarly disagreements or alternative historical interpretations do not, by themselves, constitute grounds for correction or retraction unless they demonstrate substantive errors or unreliable findings.

HISTORIA is committed to ensuring that all post-publication editorial actions are transparent, proportionate, and consistent with recognized standards of publication ethics.
