The editorial team of JIPSINDO (Jurnal Pendidikan Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial Indonesia) is organised so that responsibilities are clear and decisions are independent, following the COPE Core Practice on journal management. The names of the team are on the Editorial Team page.

In line with COPE guidance and the 2026 national journal accreditation guidelines, the editorial team is drawn from many institutions and countries, so that decisions do not depend on a single institution:

—  27 members from 21 institutions in 11 countries.

—  16 members from 8 Indonesian provinces and 11 international members.

—  Members are listed with their full names, affiliations, and, where available, ORCID, SINTA, and Scopus profiles on the Editorial Team page.

All editors, including any guest editors, receive training before handling manuscripts and refresher training twice a year. Training covers:

—  The journal's peer review procedures and the OJS workflow.

—  Identifying and managing conflicts of interest.

—  Handling inappropriate or low-quality reviewer comments, and editing reviews (see Editing Peer Reviews).

—  COPE flowcharts for suspected misconduct.

Reviewers receive written instructions (Reviewer Guidelines) and can contact the handling editor at any time.
