Although the journal’s editorial schedule is set for May and November, JARDS employs a continuous publication model: as soon as an article completes peer review and production, it is immediately posted online rather than waiting for the remainder of the issue to be finalized. This approach ensures that readers gain prompt access to the fully formatted, final version of each article.

Peer Review Process

Peer review in the journal is conducted by external reviewers. They were selected based on their expertise and latest publications in the related topics of submitted manuscripts. 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
