Ya. Saya cek kembali Permendiktisaintek No. 9 Tahun 2026 beserta Kepdirjen No. 374/DST/D.D1/HM.01.01/2026, lalu membandingkannya dengan pedoman lama Kepdirjen No. 134/E/KPT/2021. Dokumen yang Anda unggah juga menegaskan bahwa Kepdirjen 374/2026 mencabut dan menyatakan tidak berlaku Kepdirjen 134/E/KPT/2021.

Catatan penting: secara hukum, aturan menteri yang lama yang dicabut adalah Permenristekdikti No. 9 Tahun 2018, sedangkan dokumen teknis 2021 adalah Kepdirjen No. 134/E/KPT/2021. Jadi, kalau kita mengatakan “aturan 2021”, yang paling tepat untuk dibandingkan dengan Juknis 2026 adalah Kepdirjen 134/2021. (Peraturan BPK)

Berikut listing perubahan/keputusan baru yang paling penting:

Perubahan utama 2026 dibanding 2021

1. Peringkat akreditasi dipangkas dari 6 menjadi 4 peringkat.

   • 2021: SINTA 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

   • 2026: hanya Peringkat 1, 2, 3, dan 4.

   • Nilai di bawah batas minimal dinyatakan tidak terakreditasi. (Scribd)

2. Batas nilai setiap peringkat berubah.

   • 2021:

     • Peringkat 1: 85–100

     • Peringkat 2: 70–<85

     • Peringkat 3: 60–<70

     • Peringkat 4: 50–<60

     • Peringkat 5: 40–<50

     • Peringkat 6: 30–<40.

   • 2026:

     • Peringkat 1: 90–100

     • Peringkat 2: 80–<90

     • Peringkat 3: 70–<80

     • Peringkat 4: 60–<70

     • <60: tidak terakreditasi. (Scribd)

3. Jurnal SINTA 5 dan SINTA 6 tidak lagi menjadi peringkat akreditasi baru.

   • Namun, jurnal yang sudah memiliki SINTA 5/6 tidak otomatis kehilangan statusnya; ketentuan peralihan mempertahankan akreditasi lama sampai masa berlakunya berakhir. (International Journal Labs)

1. Is the Journal of Pragmatics Research currently accepting new manuscript submissions?

Yes. The journal is actively accepting submissions. A specific "Call for Papers" has been issued for Volume 8, No. 3, October 2026, with a submission deadline of 15 September 2026.

---

2. Does the editorial team provide a preliminary suitability assessment based on the manuscript title and abstract?

Yes. The journal conducts an initial screening process for all submitted manuscripts. This assessment evaluates the quality of the manuscript and ensures that it falls within the journal's scope. If the manuscript is deemed to be outside the journal's scope or of insufficient quality, it may be rejected at this stage. Should the manuscript demonstrate potential, the author will be offered the option of a fast-track or regular-track review.

3. Are submissions from international authors and institutions, including authors from Pakistan, eligible?

Yes. The journal explicitly welcomes submissions from international authors. Its stated mission is to bring local Indonesian insights "to a wider international readership—from local to global," and it "welcomes comparative and theoretical studies that connect local contexts to global discussions." The guidelines for authors, including the publication fee structure, differentiate between Indonesian and foreign authors, thereby confirming that international submissions are eligible.

4. Does the journal accept studies conducted outside Indonesia when they provide a clear contribution to international discussions in pragmatics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, or applied linguistics?

Yes. Although the journal's scope is grounded in the Indonesian context, it actively welcomes comparative and theoretical studies that connect local contexts to global discussions in fields including, but not limited to, cognitive linguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, anthropology, and communication studies. Accordingly, a study conducted outside Indonesia that offers a clear and significant contribution to international discussions in these fields would be highly suitable.
