Before entering the peer-review stage, all manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Awaliyah: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Budaya, Studi Islam, dan Pengajarannya will undergo a preliminary evaluation. Submitted manuscripts must comply with the journal’s focus and scope, author guidelines, and the required template. Manuscripts should demonstrate scientific merit, relevance, and novelty.

Manuscripts that pass the preliminary evaluation will be assigned by the Editor-in-Chief (or Managing Editors or assigned Editors) for external review. A double-blind peer-review process is applied, ensuring that both reviewer and author identities remain confidential. Reviewer comments are treated confidentially and will not be disclosed in a manner that reveals reviewer identities.

All manuscripts are subject to peer review. If revisions are required, authors must submit the revised version within the specified deadline. The peer-review process for regular article submissions typically requires approximately 2—8 weeks, counted from the time the manuscript enters the review stage after preliminary evaluation.

All manuscripts under review are treated confidentially in accordance with publication ethics. The Editor will make the final decision to accept or decline the manuscript based on the reviewer reports. Once the review decision is finalized, the corresponding author will be notified via email. The decision outcome may include resubmission for review, minor revision, major revision, rejection, or acceptance without revision, as outlined in the Author Guidelines.
