At least two reviewers are selected for each submission. The journal didn’t ask author(s) for recommended reviewers to avoid any misconduct in peer review process. At some point, editorial board members can also be selected as reviewers of a manuscript. A list of reviewers of each edition is provided in the published issue, and a list of all reviewers is available at https://journal.uii.ac.id/jards/Reviewer
