1. Journal Ownership

The International Journal of Education and Learning Studies (IJELS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published and managed by PT. Intelektiva Global Nusantara, an Indonesian publishing company.

PT. Intelektiva Global Nusantara serves as the journal's publishing organization and is responsible for supporting its administration, publication infrastructure, and long-term organizational development.

2. Publisher Responsibilities

PT. Intelektiva Global Nusantara is responsible for providing organizational and administrative support to ensure the continued operation of IJELS. Publisher responsibilities include:

• Supporting the journal's publishing infrastructure and online manuscript management system.
• Providing administrative assistance for journal operations and publication activities.
• Supporting the availability and accessibility of published scholarly content.
• Facilitating the implementation of approved publication and editorial policies.
• Supporting accurate publication metadata, indexing preparation, and scholarly dissemination.
• Supporting appropriate preservation and continuity arrangements for published content.
• Ensuring that organizational interests do not compromise independent scholarly evaluation.

3. Editorial Management and Governance

IJELS operates through an editorial structure led by the Editor-in-Chief, supported by members of the Editorial Board, handling editors, reviewers, and relevant editorial personnel.

The editorial team is responsible for:

• Maintaining the journal's academic aims and scope.
• Conducting initial manuscript assessments.
• Selecting qualified independent reviewers.
• Managing the peer-review and revision process.
• Making evidence-based editorial decisions.
• Upholding research integrity and publication ethics.
• Addressing complaints, appeals, and post-publication concerns.

4. Editorial Independence

The publisher must not interfere with the acceptance or rejection of individual manuscripts for commercial, financial, personal, political, or institutional reasons.

Neither payment status nor an author's institutional affiliation may determine the outcome of scholarly evaluation. Editors with relevant conflicts of interest must withdraw from handling the affected manuscript.

5. Separation of Editorial and Administrative Responsibilities

The publisher and editorial team perform distinct but complementary functions. The publisher provides organizational and operational support, while the editorial team exercises academic judgment and manages manuscript evaluation.

Operational decisions must not override the journal's academic standards, peer-review requirements, or publication ethics policies.

6. Transparency and Publication Accountability

IJELS is committed to maintaining transparent information about its publisher, editorial management, peer-review procedures, publishing schedule, author fees, copyright, licensing, and publication ethics.

Relevant information is made available through the journal website and its public policy pages. Any formal institutional affiliations or publishing partnerships should be disclosed accurately and should not imply relationships that have not been established.

7. Complaints and Institutional Communication

Questions concerning journal ownership, administrative management, publication procedures, or institutional matters may be submitted through the journal's official contact channel.

Complaints concerning manuscript evaluation, editorial conduct, or publication ethics are handled through the journal's relevant editorial policies and procedures.

8. Policy Reference

IJELS considers the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing when communicating journal ownership, management, and editorial responsibilities.
