Peer Review Process

Satria Bhakti: Journal of Community Service employs a double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, integrity, and neutrality of all published articles.

1. Initial Screening
   The editorial team evaluates each submission for scope, quality, novelty, and adherence to author guidelines. Manuscripts that fail to meet basic criteria may be returned to authors or rejected before review.

2. Double-Blind Review
   Eligible manuscripts are sent to at least two independent reviewers. Both reviewers and authors remain anonymous during the entire review process.

3. Review Duration
   Reviewers are given 2–4 weeks to complete their evaluation. Additional reviewers may be assigned if needed.

4. Revision Process
   Authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts based on reviewer feedback. Revised submissions will undergo further assessment by the editor and, if necessary, by the reviewers.

5. Final Decision
   The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision on acceptance, revision, or rejection based on reviewer feedback and editorial judgment.

6. Plagiarism Check
   All submissions are screened using plagiarism detection software before acceptance.
