Peer Review Process

English
All manuscripts submitted to Al-Zayn: Journal of Social and Legal Sciences undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Each article will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers through a double-blind review system, where both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other. The initial screening is conducted by the editorial team to ensure that the manuscript meets the journal’s scope, formatting guidelines, and ethical standards.

After passing the editorial screening, manuscripts are sent to reviewers who evaluate the quality, originality, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field. Reviewers provide constructive feedback and recommendations, which may include acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. The final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of the manuscript rests with the Editor-in-Chief, based on the reviewers’ reports and editorial considerations.

To maintain the integrity and transparency of the review process, the journal adheres to international standards of publication ethics. Any conflicts of interest must be declared, and cases of research misconduct (such as plagiarism or data fabrication) will be handled according to COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines.

Setiap naskah yang dikirimkan ke Al-Zayn: Jurnal Ilmu Sosial & Hukum akan melalui proses tinjauan sejawat yang ketat. Setiap artikel akan ditinjau oleh minimal dua orang penelaah independen melalui sistem double-blind review, di mana penulis dan penelaah tidak saling mengetahui identitas masing-masing. Tahap awal dilakukan oleh tim editor untuk memastikan bahwa naskah sesuai dengan fokus jurnal, pedoman penulisan, serta standar etika publikasi.

Setelah lolos seleksi awal, naskah akan dikirimkan kepada penelaah yang menilai kualitas, orisinalitas, ketelitian metodologis, kejelasan penyajian, serta kontribusinya terhadap bidang ilmu. Penelaah memberikan masukan dan rekomendasi yang dapat berupa diterima, revisi minor, revisi mayor, atau ditolak. Keputusan akhir mengenai penerimaan atau penolakan naskah berada di tangan Pemimpin Redaksi, dengan mempertimbangkan hasil tinjauan penelaah dan pertimbangan editorial.

Untuk menjaga integritas dan transparansi proses tinjauan, jurnal ini berpegang pada standar etika publikasi internasional.
