Jurnal Alfa: Pendidikan, Penelitian, dan Bahasa is an open-access journal that aims to disseminate knowledge and generate debate on theoretical or real-world research related to education, research, and language, particularly in developing and emerging countries. The topic may range from educational concerns to everyday issues, offering a real contribution to the local community. The journal publishes volumes twice a year in June and December, presenting nine accepted manuscripts evaluated in at least two rounds of peer reviews.

Peer Review Process
The journal adopts the Double-blind Peer Review Process which is closely monitored by the editors. Editors undertake an editorial review to assess the quality and type of submission before sending it to the review process. Authors are expected to pay attention to the Author Guidelines because manuscripts not meeting the scientific standards will not be considered for the reviewing process. Editors will also check the readability and grammatical usage and may ask for resubmission if papers fare poorly in these parameters.
Editors request referees to advise on the scientific merit as well as the likely appeal the paper will have for Scientometrics’ broad readership. Editors will be in contact with the referees once the paper is sent to them, with periodic reminders of their due date. Once all the reviews are in-house, the editor handling the manuscript will most likely make a decision within a day or two. The editor will then contact the corresponding author with the decision. Reviewers invest precious time in the belief that they are making important contributions to the scientific process.
Authors can differ with the reviewer comments supported by a rational explanation, which will be examined by the editor and can be sent to the said referee again. However, offensive remarks on reviewers’ comments will be subjected to the cancellation of publication.
Editorial assessment is also done after the referee process is completed before finally recommending the paper for the journal or otherwise.
All efforts are done to complete the whole process within three or more months from submission, with the first decision on average done within 75 days to inform the final status of their article (accepted or declined).
The entire review process of the articles submitted to Jurnal Alfa is done online and digitally. Authors must use the online submission system for submitting their manuscript. If authors are unable to do so, they should contact the editor by emailing alfapustaka23@gmail.com.
