Reviewer Policy

Every manuscript submitted to the editors of the *Journal of Political Science and Applied Social Studies* (Jurnal Ilmu Politik dan Studi Sosial Terapan) will be screened for adherence to the journal’s formatting requirements and scope. Subsequently, the manuscript will undergo a peer-review process, involving at least one reviewer with expertise relevant to the submitted topic. The review results will be returned to the author, who is then required to carry out revisions. If the revisions sufficiently meet the criteria for publication, the article will proceed to the next stage; otherwise, it will be returned to the author for further improvement. Furthermore, any article deemed suitable for publication must meet a maximum allowable similarity threshold of 25%.
