Peer-Review Statements 

All of the articles in this proceedings volume have been presented at the Second International Conference on Science Education and Sciences (2^nd ICSES 2022) during 3^rd to 4^th of November 2022 in Mataram, Indonesia. These articles have been peer reviewed by the members of the comittee and approved by the Editor-in-Chief, who affirms that this document is a truthful description of the conference’s review process.

1. Review Procedure

The review was blind review. Each submission was examined by two reviewer(s) independently. 

The submissions were first screened for generic quality and suitableness based on the conference theme. After the initial screening, they were sent for peer review by matching each paper’s topic with the reviewers’ expertise, taking into account any competing interests. A paper could only be considered for acceptance if it had received favourable recommendations from the two reviewers.

Authors of a rejected submission were given the opportunity to revise and resubmit after addressing the reviewers’ comments. The acceptance or rejection of a revised manuscript was final.

2. Quality Criteria

Reviewers were instructed to assess the quality of submissions solely based on the academic merit of their content along the following dimensions:

1. Pertinence of the article’s content to the scope and themes of the conference;
2. Clear demonstration of originality, novelty, and timeliness of the research;
3. Soundness of the methods, analyses, and results;
4. Adherence to the ethical standards and codes of conduct relevant to the research field;
5. Clarity, cohesion, and accuracy in language and other modes of expression, including figures and tables.

In addition, all of the articles have been checked for textual overlap in an effort to detect possible signs of plagiarism by the publisher.
