IJCEPS: International Journal of Civic Education and Pancasila Studies is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing pioneering research at the vital intersection of civic pedagogy, political philosophy, character education, and national ideology. Positioned as a premier scholarly forum, the journal serves educational researchers, civic educators, political scientists, and curriculum developers worldwide. IJCEPS prioritizes macro-level systemic evaluations, rigorous empirical classroom research, and profound philosophical analyses that address the complexities of cultivating democratic citizenship, national identity, and moral integrity. By bridging universal civic education frameworks with the specific philosophical values of Pancasila (the foundational philosophical theory of Indonesia), the journal fosters a deep, comprehensive understanding of how civic consciousness, social cohesion, and democratic resilience can be integrated into modern educational systems and societal practices.
Scope and Topics
The journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, critical literature reviews, and empirical classroom or socio-political studies that offer significant contributions to the following thematic areas:
Civic Education Pedagogy & Curriculum: Innovative instructional models for citizenship education, active learning methodologies, civic literacy, and the integration of digital technology in civic classrooms.
Pancasila Studies & National Ideology: Philosophical interpretations of Pancasila, its application in contemporary socio-legal frameworks, national identity formation, and comparative studies on state ideologies.
Global Citizenship & Democratic Education: Education for human rights, cross-cultural understanding, political literacy, youth civic engagement, and the pedagogy of peace and conflict resolution.
Character Education & Moral Philosophy: Ethical development in schools, anti-corruption education, social justice pedagogy, and systemic frameworks for building student character and moral reasoning.
Law, State, and Society: Constitutional awareness, public participation in democratic processes, socio-legal perspectives on citizenship rights and duties, and the role of education in shaping equitable public policy.
Publication Frequency
To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and timely dissemination of critical civic and educational research, IJCEPS is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on urgent democratic challenges, national educational curriculum reforms, or global citizenship initiatives may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.
Peer Review Process
IJCEPS enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, pedagogical validity, and analytical objectivity.
Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Subject Editor to assess thematic alignment, methodological soundness (philosophical, qualitative, or quantitative), and structural compliance. Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is strictly executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the journal's maximum threshold.
Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent international reviewers who are established academic experts or senior practitioners in the specific domain of civic education, political science, or philosophy.
Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on the intellectual merit, educational rigor, and practical applicability of the work to civic and societal advancement.
Mission Statement: "The mission of IJCEPS is to deconstruct socio-political barriers and catalyze the development of active, ethical, and democratic citizens within a rapidly evolving global society. Grounded in the philosophy that robust civic education, strong character foundations, and an inclusive understanding of national and universal ideologies are the absolute anchors for democratic resilience and social harmony, the journal aims to democratize advanced educational knowledge by providing an unrestricted, high-impact platform for global scholarly dialogue. Through the promotion of diverse and rigorous methodological approaches—encompassing qualitative classroom ethnographies, normative philosophical research, and quantitative civic assessments—IJCEPS seeks to empower civic educators, inspire curriculum innovators, and shape future-proof, evidence-based citizenship policies worldwide."
