Peer Review Process
Editorial Screening
All manuscripts submitted to JPUS: Jurnal Pendidikan Untuk Semua first undergo an initial editorial screening by the editorial team within 5–7 working days of submission. This screening evaluates the manuscript's conformity with the journal's focus and scope, adherence to the author guidelines and template, and overall academic soundness. Manuscripts that do not meet these basic requirements will be returned to the author or rejected at this stage without proceeding to peer review. Manuscripts must also include a complete AI Usage Statement in accordance with the journal's AI Usage Policy; manuscripts without this statement will be returned to the author before proceeding further.
Plagiarism Check
Manuscripts that pass editorial screening are checked for originality using Turnitin plagiarism-detection software. Manuscripts with a similarity index above 25% will be returned to the author for revision before proceeding further, or rejected if the similarity is deemed excessive.

Reviewers' and editors' comments and recommendations are communicated to the authors through the Open Journal System (OJS).
