The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed "JPPPLB" Journals is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. 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 behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the authors, the journal editors, the peer reviewers, the publisher and the society.
To ensure that the peer-review process is systematic, transparent, and easy to understand for every author, JPPPLB has designed a structured review workflow. This workflow includes stages from submission, initial check by the editor, assignment to peer reviewers, to final decision along with constructive feedback. Each stage is explained in concise language and accompanied by a clear flowchart on the journal's website, enabling authors to track their manuscript's status and understand what is expected at each phase. Thus, authors not only receive a publication decision but also gain a full understanding of why that decision was made and how to improve their manuscript's quality.
State University of Malang and Department of Special Education as publisher of this Journal takes its duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously and we recognize 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, State University of Malang, Department of Special Education and Editorial Board will assist in communications with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful and necessary.
