Pena Justisia first published in 1999. Previously, Pena Justisiaonly appeared in print version. Beginning in 2017, published in print and online, starting from Vol. 17 No. 1 June 2017. 

The Pena Justisia journal has changed its publication frequency from twice a year to three times a year, starting in 2023. This decision was taken based on considerations to improve the quality and sustainability of the journal in the long term. Increasing the frequency of journal publications is hoped to provide more opportunities for authors to publish their research and help increase the journal's visibility among academics. In addition, this change is also expected to increase the participation of reviewers and members of the journal's editorial board, thereby strengthening the quality of reviewing and editing articles. Nonetheless, this change in publication frequency also created several challenges, such as an increase in the workload for editorial board members and reviewers and adjustments to the schedule for publishing articles by authors. Therefore, the journal will continue to monitor and evaluate the impact of these changes to ensure the quality and sustainability of the journal in the future.
