Jurnal Penelitian Kebijakan Pendidikan is a scholarly peer-reviewed journal published periodically by the Center for Education Standard and Policy at the Indonesian Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (formerly Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology).  Issued biannually, the journal publishes research and analysis-based articles that cover a range of education policy topics such as education management, educational evaluation, curriculum, educational technology, and educational innovations.

The first edition was published in 2007 under the name of Jurnal Penelitian Kebijakan Pendidikan with ISSN 0216-2792. Along with the journal development, the publication frequency changed from three publications to two publications a year. 

In 2019, Jurnal Penelitian Kebijakan Pendidikan changed from a printed journal to a digital format using the Open Journal System (OJS).

Throughout its existence, the publisher of this journal has changed its name three times due to organizational nomenclature changes. The first edition of Volume 1 in 2007 was published by the Center for Policy Research (Puslitjak). In 2015, starting with the third edition of Volume 9, the publisher became the Center for Education and Culture Policy Research (Puslitjakdikbud). In 2022, with the first edition of Volume 15, the publisher's name changed to the Center for Education Standard and Policy.
