Perantau: Journal of Migration, Borders, and Belonging uses a double-blind peer review process to ensure objectivity, fairness, and academic rigor.

Review Steps:

1. Initial Screening: All submissions are first reviewed by the editorial team to ensure they meet basic journal criteria (e.g., scope, formatting, plagiarism check).

2. Double-Blind Review: Eligible manuscripts are sent to at least two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. Both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous during the process.

3. Evaluation Criteria include originality, scholarly contribution, clarity, methodology, and relevance to the journal’s focus.

4. Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the editor may decide to:

   • Accept the manuscript

   • Request minor or major revisions

   • Reject the submission

5. Revision and Re-evaluation: Authors may be asked to revise their manuscript. Revised versions may be re-reviewed by the same or new reviewers.

The average review process takes 6–8 weeks, though this may vary depending on reviewer availability.
