Jurnal Pengabdian Akuntansi untuk Masyarakat, Organisasi, dan Rakyat (PAMOR) applies a rigorous and transparent peer review procedure to ensure that all accepted articles meet internationally recognized academic standards. The journal employs a double-blind peer review system, whereby the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept anonymous throughout the review process. The stages of the peer review workflow are outlined below:
Every manuscript submitted through the journal’s system is initially reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief or an appointed Handling Editor.

Review evaluations address originality, methodological rigor, theoretical grounding, clarity of argumentation, relevance to the discipline, and scholarly contribution. Reviewers may provide:
