Peer Review Process

Every manuscript submitted to the Patria Artha Journal of Community (PKM ) will be processed objectively through the following stages:

1. Initial Review (Desk Review): The editor will check the manuscript for compliance with Focus & Scope, Author Guidelines, and plagiarism. Manuscripts that do not comply will be immediately rejected or returned for revision.
2. Double-Blind Peer Review: Manuscripts that pass the initial selection will be sent to at least 2 (two) Bestari Partners (Reviewers) who are experts in their fields anonymously (the identities of the author and reviewer are kept confidential).
3. Decision: Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the Editor-in-Chief will make a final decision in the form of: Accept Submission (accepted without revision), Revisions Required (minor/major revision), Resubmit for Review (total revision and re-review), or Decline Submission (rejected).
