Focus and Scope
Belantika Pendidikan publishes original research at the intersection of educational technology, instructional design, and vocational & professional education — work that advances theory and gives educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers something they can act on.
The journal documents educational innovation in Indonesia and Southeast Asia and carries that developing-country perspective into the international literature: problems specific to transitional education systems, described precisely enough to travel. Every article is reviewed double-blind by experts in the relevant field before publication.
Submissions are judged on scientific rigour, methodological soundness, contribution to theory or practice, and relevance to at least one theme below.
Educational Technology & Digital Learning
| Instructional Design & Learning Models
|
Vocational & Technical Education (VET)
| Curriculum Development & Educational Management
|
Language Education & Applied Linguistics
| Assessment & Student Development
|
Multicultural, Values & Philosophy of Education
| Research Methodology & Systematic Reviews
|
| Every manuscript | Reviewed double-blind by at least two expert reviewers. |
| Development research | Report data on validity, practicality, and effectiveness. |
| Quasi-experimental studies | Report effect sizes and homogeneity analyses. |
| Bibliometric studies | Disclose the database, search strategy, and timeframe. |
Where the research comes from Authors worldwide are welcome, and the journal keeps a deliberate commitment to Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Findings from transitional education systems have comparative value for the international community — vocational reform, technology adoption under resource constraints, multilingual classrooms, national curriculum implementation. Studies in other contexts are welcome when they contribute explicitly to a theme above; cross-national and comparative work is especially encouraged. | Who reads it Researchers and academic educators, instructional designers, curriculum specialists, school and university administrators, language education practitioners, vocational education policymakers, and postgraduate students in education, educational technology, applied linguistics, and neighbouring fields. |

Peer Review Process
Peer Review Process
Every manuscript submitted to Belantika Pendidikan is reviewed double-blind: authors and reviewers are not told each other's identity at any stage. The editorial team first screens the submission for fit with the journal's focus and scope, for compliance with the author guidelines, and for similarity. Manuscripts that pass screening go to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant area.
The final decision rests with the Editorial Board and is based on the reviewers' recommendations, methodological soundness, originality, and the contribution the work makes to education research and practice. Reviewers are asked to declare any conflict of interest and to decline the assignment where one exists.
Where a manuscript raises ethical concerns — research involving children or other vulnerable participants, sensitive cultural material, or missing ethical clearance — the editors may seek additional expert advice, request documentation, or decline to proceed with review.
1 | Screening Scope, guidelines, and a Turnitin (iThenticate) similarity check. Similarity above 30% is desk-rejected. |
2 | Double-blind review by two or more reviewers Reviewers assess originality, method, evidence, clarity, and contribution, and recommend accept, revise, or reject. |
3 | Revision and decision Authors respond point by point. The Editorial Board decides at its concluding meeting; a rejected manuscript may not be resubmitted in substantially the same form. |
4 | Production and publication Copyediting, layout, proof approval by the corresponding author, DOI registration with Crossref, and release in the June or November issue. |
