Submission Timeline and Review Process

Submissions for the January 2025 Edition are currently open, and manuscripts must be submitted by November 30, 2024. Authors can submit their manuscripts via the IRBEJ Open Journal System. Each submission will undergo a rigorous peer-review process by experienced scholars and experts in the respective fields. The review process ensures that only high-quality research articles are published in the journal.

Legal and Accreditation Considerations

In compliance with Keputusan Menteri Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi Nomor 384/P/2024 regarding the technical guidelines for implementing professional development services for lecturers, it is important to note that this decision revokes Keputusan Menteri Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi Nomor 209/P/2024. As a result, the previous accreditation of journals remains valid under the following conditions:

1. The journal has been submitted to ARJUNA (Kemendikbud.go.id).

2. The journal is currently undergoing an assessment process.

3. The results of the assessment have not yet been finalized.

This ensures that journal accreditations are protected during the transition period, maintaining the integrity and status of the journal during the evaluation process.

Invitation to Researchers

We invite all interested researchers to take advantage of this opportunity to contribute to one of the leading journals in the field of education. The IRBEJ is committed to advancing the knowledge base and providing a forum for critical discussions on the future of education. We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and to publishing groundbreaking research that will shape the future of education.
