Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.

Promptness

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Edukasi's editors shall consider retracting a publication if:

• They have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of a major error (eg, miscalculation or experimental error) or as a result of fabrication (eg, of data) or falsification (eg, image manipulation);
• It constitutes plagiarism;
• The findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper attribution to previous sources or disclosure to the editor, permission to republish, or justification (ie, cases of redundant publication);
• It contains material or data without authorisation for use;

• It reports unethical research;
• It has been published solely based on a compromised or manipulated peer review process;
• The author(s) failed to disclose a major competing interest (a.k.a. conflict of interest) that, in the view of the editor, would have unduly affected interpretations of the work or recommendations by editors and peer reviewers.

Notices of retraction would:

• Be linked to the retracted article wherever possible (ie, in all online versions);
• Clearly identify the retracted article (eg, by including the title and authors in the retraction heading or citing the retracted article);
• Be clearly identified as a retraction (ie, distinct from other types of correction or comment);

Retractions are not usually appropriate if:

• The authorship is disputed but there is no reason to doubt the validity of the findings;
• The main findings of the work are still reliable and correction could sufficiently address errors or concerns;
• An editor has inconclusive evidence to support retraction or is awaiting additional information such as from an institutional investigation;

• there is evidence that the findings are unreliable but the authors’ institution will not investigate the case;
• they believe that an investigation into alleged misconduct related to the publication either has not been or would not be, fair and impartial, or conclusive;
• an investigation is underway but a judgment will not be available for a considerable time

Edukasi's editors shall consider issuing a correction if:

• a small portion of an otherwise reliable publication proves to be misleading (especially because of honest error);
