Peer Review Process

The final approval for publishing articles in Jurnal Prabung Seni: Pengkajian dan Penciptaan Seni Pertunjukan rests entirely on their scholastic rigor and logical consistency, as determined through editorial and peer evaluation. Reviewers and editors assess whether the submission is written in a lucid manner and if it provides meaningful advancements to the performing arts discipline. Jurnal Prabung Seni deeply values the scholarly dedication and constructive feedback shared by our review panel.

Preliminary Screening

Upon submission, every manuscript undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editorial Team. While immediate acceptance at this phase is uncommon, it remains a possibility for exemplary work. Conversely, papers that are turned down during this initial phase usually demonstrate a lack of novelty, exhibit fundamental methodological errors, or do not align with the core focus and scope of Jurnal Prabung Seni. Manuscripts that successfully clear this preliminary check are advanced to external specialists for comprehensive evaluation.

Review Model

Jurnal Prabung Seni typically assigns each manuscript to two or three independent experts. These referees are tasked with verifying that the research is methodologically sound, free of redundant or plagiarized material, and presented with sufficient clarity to justify publication.

Evaluation Criteria

Reviewers are requested to analyze whether the manuscript fulfills specific academic benchmarks by ensuring it establishes clear research objectives and identifies distinct gaps in current literature. Furthermore, the study must apply suitable and robust research frameworks, adhere strictly to established ethical codes, and deliver transparent results that are directly substantiated by the findings. Lastly, the author must integrate accurate and relevant references to foundational and contemporary works, though reviewers are not responsible for language editing or proofreading since improving grammatical quality falls outside the scope of the peer review mandate.

Editorial Determination

While reviewers offer expert recommendations, the Editor-in-Chief holds the definitive authority regarding the acceptance or rejection of any submission. Editorial decisions are guided by the reviewers' feedback and, when necessary, additional consultation with the Editorial Board. Through this process, the potential outcomes for a manuscript include rejection, major revisions, minor revisions, or acceptance.
