Jurnal Kedokteran Gigi Universitas Padjadjaran is a sister journal of Padjadjaran Journal of Dentistry. In 2017, JKG launched its online publication version with e-ISSN 2549-6514, in accordance with PDII–LIPI policy. Since the same year, JKG has fully adopted the Open Journal System (OJS) platform, requiring all authors to register prior to online manuscript submission. Editors and peer reviewers manage and evaluate manuscripts through this platform, and authors may monitor the progress of their submissions online.

JKG accepts manuscript submissions throughout the year via OJS. All submissions first undergo an initial screening process, aimed at ensuring manuscript suitability while also supporting early-career and mid-level researchers in developing high-quality scientific writing. This stage is followed by a double-blind peer review process to uphold scientific integrity and excellence.

Prior to submission, all authors must prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the journal templates for research articles or case reports, and complete all required manuscript files and author metadata accurately and comprehensively. Submissions that do not meet these requirements will not be processed further. All manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using Turnitinto prevent any form of unacceptable plagiarism. Reference management is strongly recommended using Mendeley, following the Vancouver superscript citation style, and all selected keywords must be based on Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms.

An automated Submission Acknowledgement email will be sent to the registered author for each manuscript submission. This email includes a Cover Letter checklist and a Statement of Willingness to Pay the Initial Processing Charge, which must be completed accordingly. The Journal Publishing Agreement—including the Statement of Authorship, Copyright Transfer Agreement, and Conflict of Interest Disclosure—along with the Article Publication Fee Form and Letter of Acceptance, will be issued only after the manuscript has been formally accepted.

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial assessment, followed by double-blind peer review and editorial copyediting.
