Articles published in PJD undergo a double-blind peer-review process. All submissions must be written in English, must be original, unpublished, and not under simultaneous consideration elsewhere. The PJD Editorial Board screens submissions for plagiarism using plagiarism detection software. Manuscripts with a plagiarism level exceeding 20% are automatically rejected. The final decision regarding the acceptance of a scientific article rests with the Editorial Board, based on the recommendations of peer reviewers.Prior to submission, all authors must follow the journal template and complete the article and author metadata fully and accurately; otherwise, the article will not be considered for further processing. All submitted manuscripts are checked with Turnitin to prevent unacceptable levels of plagiarism. Reference management should preferably be performed using Mendeley, following the Vancouver superscript style. All keywords must be chosen based on terms included in MeSH.

Starting February 2023, the Padjadjaran Journal of Dentistry adopted new templates for different article types: the updated research article template can be downloaded here; templates for systematic reviews can be downloaded here; and the case report template can be downloaded here.
