Peer Review Process

Ta'lim al-'Arabiyyah: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Arab dan Kebahasaaraban maintains a stringent peer review procedure to guarantee the excellence and validity of its published research. This process adopts a double-blind review system, ensuring anonymity for both authors and reviewers. Experts in Arabic language education, Arabic linguistics, literature, and related disciplines undertake the review, evaluating submissions based on their scholarly contribution, originality, methodological rigor, and relevance to the journal’s scope.

1. Preliminary Assessment: The editorial team examines each manuscript to determine whether it aligns with the journal’s focus and complies with publication standards. Manuscripts that fall outside the scope of Arabic language education and Arabic studies, or that show more than 20% similarity to previously published works, are immediately rejected. The team also verifies formatting, citation style, and compliance with the author guidelines. Manuscripts requiring technical corrections are returned to the authors for revision before proceeding to peer review.
2. Selection of Reviewers: The editorial board appoints at least two to three independent reviewers who have expertise in the manuscript’s specific area, such as Arabic pedagogy, linguistics, translation studies, or Arabic literature. The review process remains anonymous, and both authors and reviewers are unaware of each other’s identity. Reviewers are selected from institutions different from those of the authors to avoid conflicts of interest. The journal aims to complete reviewer assignment within four weeks.
3. Evaluation Process: Reviewers assess the manuscript’s originality, theoretical contribution, methodological quality, clarity of analysis, and relevance to the field of Arabic language education. Reviews are generally completed within two to four weeks. Reviewers provide constructive comments and recommendations, including acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection.
4. Editorial Decision: The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision based on reviewer reports and the manuscript’s adherence to academic and publication standards. In cases where reviewer recommendations differ significantly, an additional reviewer may be assigned. Authors receive the editorial decision together with anonymized reviewer comments. The journal aims to provide the first decision within one month after the manuscript enters the review stage.
5. Revision Stage: Authors whose manuscripts require revision must submit a revised version along with a response letter explaining how reviewer comments have been addressed. Minor revisions are expected within two weeks, while major revisions may be completed within four weeks. Manuscripts undergoing major revision may be sent back to the original reviewers for further evaluation.
6. Final Steps to Publication: Accepted manuscripts proceed to the final editing stage, including copyediting, layout editing, proofreading, and final formatting before publication.

Through this rigorous peer review process, Ta'lim al-'Arabiyyah: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Arab dan Kebahasaaraban ensures the publication of high-quality scholarly works that contribute significantly to the advancement of Arabic language education, Arabic linguistics, literature, and broader Arabic studies.
