Peer Review Process

Sawwa: Jurnal Studi Gender is issued twice a year, and written in Indonesian, English, or Arabic. It focuses on studies of gender and child issues and concerns. Each manuscript undergoes an objective and double-blind peer review process.

All manuscripts submitted to this journal must correspond to its scope, focus, and author guidelines. The submitted manuscripts must demonstrate scientific excellence or appropriate novelty with the scope and aim of the journal. All manuscripts must be free from instances of plagiarism. All authors are encouraged to utilize plagiarism detection software to check for similarities. Using the Turnitin software, the editors check the plagiarism recognition in the journal articles.

All manuscripts submitted to this journal will be reviewed in a closed (double-blind peer review), which means the identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa. All manuscripts will be initially assessed by the Editor in Chief regarding their suitability for the journal. Papers considered suitable by the Editors are then typically sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. If required, the third reviewer is needed for critical recommendations for the article. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final.

The final decision of manuscript acceptance is made by the Editor in Chief and/or Handling Editor (together with Editorial Board, if required) according to reviewers' critical comments (but not solely by the Reviewer).

Publication of accepted articles including assigning the article to the published issues will be made by the Editor in Chief by considering the sequence of accepted dates and geographical distribution of authors as well as a thematic issue.
