Peer Review Process

Jurnal Kertha Semaya is published electronically via the Open Journal System (OJS) by the Faculty of Law, Udayana University.

Jurnal Kertha Semaya is published on a monthly basis. All articles undergo a peer-review process conducted by the Board of Editors and reviewers.

The peer-review process begins with an initial assessment by the Board of Editors to ensure that the submission complies with the *Author Guidelines* and the journal’s template; this stage also includes a similarity check using Turnitin. Once an article meets these initial requirements, it proceeds to the formal review stage by designated reviewers.

During the peer-review process, reviewers examine and evaluate the substance of the article, providing comments and feedback to the authors—covering aspects such as the *state of the art* and other relevant substantive components.

Reviewers are tasked with conducting a detailed assessment, identifying the relevance of the legal documents, concepts, theories, and prior studies that the authors have utilized for their examination and analysis.
