All manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Kolaboratif Sains undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the scholarly work. The process is carried out in several stages as follows:

Initial Screening (Editorial Screening)
Submitted manuscripts are first reviewed by the editorial team to ensure conformity with the journal’s focus and scope, adherence to author guidelines, and freedom from plagiarism. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be rejected without further review.

Reviewer Assignment
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to at least two independent reviewers who have expertise in the relevant field. The review process is conducted under a double-blind peer review system, where the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential to maintain objectivity.

Review Process
Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on several aspects, including originality, novelty of contribution, methodological soundness, depth of analysis, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the field. Reviewers may recommend the manuscript as: accepted without revision, accepted with minor revisions, accepted with major revisions, or rejected.

Editorial Decision
Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editor makes the final decision regarding the manuscript. If revisions are required, authors are given the opportunity to revise their work according to the reviewers’ comments. Revised manuscripts will be re-evaluated before the final decision is made.

Final Stage
Accepted manuscripts undergo final editing (copyediting, layout, and proofreading) before being published online in the forthcoming issue.

Jurnal Kolaboratif Sains is committed to maintaining transparency, objectivity, and publication quality by upholding academic ethics and international standards in its peer review process.
