Peer Review Process

Abditani: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat implements a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality, validity, and integrity of every published article. Each submitted manuscript undergoes the following stages:

  1. Initial Editorial Screening

    • All submitted manuscripts are first evaluated by the Editorial Team to ensure their relevance to the journal’s focus, scope, and submission guidelines.

    • Manuscripts that do not meet the basic criteria will be returned to the authors without external review.

  2. Peer Review Process

    • Manuscripts passing the initial screening are sent to at least two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field.

    • The review process follows a double-blind policy, meaning both reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the process.

  3. Review Criteria
    Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on the following aspects:

    • Originality and contribution to the field of community service

    • Appropriateness of the method and analysis

    • Clarity of presentation and logical structure

    • Relevance and impact of results for the target community

  4. Editorial Decision
    Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editor will make one of the following decisions:

    • Accepted without revision

    • Accepted with minor revisions

    • Accepted with major revisions

    • Rejected

    Authors will receive reviewers’ comments and are expected to revise the manuscript accordingly within the specified time frame.

  5. Final Review and Publication

    • After the revised manuscript is submitted, the editorial team will conduct a final check to ensure that all revisions have been made and that the paper meets the publication standards before it is published online.

  6. Review Timeline

    • The peer review process generally takes 4–8 weeks, depending on the number of submissions and reviewer availability.
