Manuscripts submitted to the Organizing Committee of the International Conference on Linguistics and Cultural Studies -5 (ICLC-5) go through internal review and if they meet the basic requirements, they will be forwarded for single-blind peer review. Comments from external reviewers are sent to the authors and they are informed of the decision.
To be published in these proceedings, a paper must meet the following general criteria:
1. The submitted paper must follow the Conference Theme and the template of this proceedings.
2. The submitted manuscript must be original work, unpublished, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
3. It must fulfill scientific benefits and novelty or new contributions to knowledge.
4. The languages used are Indonesian and standard English.
5. Free from plagiarism content. All authors are advised to use plagiarism detection software (please use Turnitin or iThenticate). The editors will also check the similarity (maximum similarity of 30%).
6. Typography, grammar, clarity of content and suitability of the manuscript format are the responsibility of the author.
7. Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements will be returned to the authors. Before the manuscript is submitted to the reviewers, details that could reveal the identity of the authors in the manuscript to the reviewers will be removed. When sending reviewer comments to the authors, the reviewers’ identities are also hidden from the authors. Reviewers are expected to assess the manuscript and provide useful feedback so that the authors can improve the quality of the manuscript. Manuscripts are also assessed on the basis of originality, contribution, technical excellence, clarity of presentation, and depth of research. In general, to be accepted, a paper should represent an advance in understanding that is likely to influence thinking in the field. There should be a clear rationale for why the work is worthy of publication at the International Conference on Linguistics and Cultural Studies (ICLC-5). The final decision on manuscript acceptance is made entirely by the Editorial team based on the reviewers’ comments.
