Articles that have the potential to attract the interest of readers will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin. If the similarity index is over 30 percent, the articles will automatically be rejected.
If the similarity index is below 30 percent, the articles will be reviewed through a blind review process by the reviewers based on the criteria set by Journal of English Language and Culture.
The editors will make decisions based on recommendations from reviewers with several possibilities, which are:
- the article is rejected
- the article is accepted but requires a major revision
- the article is accepted but requires a minor revision
- the article is accepted without revision
