Peer Review Process

Pedagogia Humaniora (PH) maintains peer review standards while increasing the efficiency of the process. Double-Blind Review Policy This journal uses a double-blind review process, which means the identity of the author is hidden from the reviewers, and vice versa. Review Steps: 1. Submission: The corresponding author submits a paper to the journal. 2. Editorial Office Assessment: The journal checks the composition and organization of the paper against the Journal's Author Guidelines. 3. Assessment by the Chief Editor (RU): The RU checks that the paper is appropriate for the journal and is sufficiently original and interesting. 4. RU Appoints an Associate Editor (RA): Some journals have an Associate Editor who handles peer review. 5. Invitation to Reviewers: The RA sends invitations to individuals they believe would be suitable reviewers. 6. Response to Invitations: Potential reviewers weigh the invitation against their own expertise, conflicts of interest, and availability. 7. Review Conducted: Reviewers allocate time to read the paper several times. The first reading is used to form an initial impression of the work. If major problems are discovered at this stage, the reviewers may feel comfortable rejecting the paper without further work. If not, they will read the paper several more times, taking notes to build a detailed, point-by-point review. 8. The Journal Assesses Reviews: The RA considers all returned reviews before making an overall decision. If reviews differ widely, the editor may invite additional reviewers to obtain additional opinions before making a decision. 9. Decision Is Communicated: The editor emails the decision to the author, including any relevant reviewer comments.
