Every manuscript submitted to the Sustainability in Civil Engineering journal undergoes a rigorous Double-Blind Peer Review process. This means that the identities of the authors are hidden from the reviewers, and the identities of the reviewers are hidden from the authors. This system is critical for maintaining absolute objectivity, ensuring that research is evaluated solely on its scientific merit and technical accuracy rather than the reputation or affiliation of the authors.

The review process begins with an initial internal screening by the editorial team to assess the manuscript's alignment with the journal’s focus and scope. Manuscripts that pass this stage are then assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers within the specific civil engineering field. Reviewers evaluate the paper based on its originality, methodology, clarity of results, and the significance of its contribution to sustainable engineering practices.

The final decision—Acceptance, Revision, or Rejection—is made by the Editor based on the reviewers' reports. In cases where the two reviewers disagree, a third reviewer may be consulted to provide a tie-breaking assessment. Authors are typically given a specific timeframe to address any required revisions, and the revised manuscript may undergo a second round of review to ensure all concerns have been addressed. This process ensures the high quality and integrity of every paper published by PT. Cendikia Publikasi Indonesia.
