Academic Validation

The peer review process is a fundamental method in academic validation, where a submitted manuscript is critically assessed by expert reviewers who possess appropriate expertise in the subject area while maintaining independence from the work. ELEMENTAR: Jurnal Pendidikan Dasar adheres to a double-blind peer review process, ensuring that neither the authors nor the reviewers are aware of each other’s identities.

  • Independent Experts: Each paper is assessed by at least two specialists.
  • Editorial Impartiality: Editors with conflicts of interest are strictly excluded from handling the manuscript.
