J-3P (Jurnal Pembangunan Pemberdayaan Pemerintahan) adopts double-blind system for peer-review; the identities of both reviewers and authors remain anonymous. Before sending to the preview process, editors undertake an editorial review to assess the quality and type of submission. Authors are expected to pay attention to the instructions for authors. Editors will be in contact with the reviewers once the paper is sent to them. The editor will then contact the corresponding author with the decision (rejected, major correction, minor correction, and accepted). The entire review process of the articles submitted to JP3 are done online and digitally. Authors must use the online submission system for submitting their manuscript. Only if they are unable to do so, they should contact the editor through email.

Authors may appeal decisions if there are strong grounds to believe there have been errors or misunderstandings on the part of the editor or referees. All appeals are carefully considered by the editors.

Upon article acceptance, all manuscripts undergo ethics checking, including screening for plagiarism.
