JA: Jurnal Aequitas implements a peer review process to ensure the scientific quality and integrity of all published manuscripts. The review process is conducted using a double-blind system, where both authors and reviewers remain anonymous.

The review process consists of the following steps:

1. Initial Editorial Screening
   Submitted manuscripts are evaluated for their relevance to the journal’s focus and scope, as well as completeness and formatting requirements.
2. Plagiarism Screening
   Manuscripts are checked using plagiarism detection software. Those that do not meet the standards will be rejected or returned to the authors.
3. Peer Review Process
   Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to at least two qualified reviewers for objective evaluation.
4. Editorial Decision
   Based on reviewers’ comments, the editor makes one of the following decisions:
   • Accepted without revision
   • Accepted with minor revisions
   • Accepted with major revisions
   • Rejected
5. Revision by Authors
   Authors are required to revise their manuscripts according to reviewer feedback within the given timeframe.
6. Final Decision and Publication
   Once the revised manuscript is approved, it proceeds to the publication stage.

This process ensures the quality, objectivity, and transparency of the journal’s publications.
