Peer Review Process
JoMMID operates a double-blind peer review process, meaning that the identities of both authors and reviewers are kept confidential throughout the review process.
Initial Screening: Submitted manuscripts are initially evaluated by internal screeners who assess their compliance with the journal's instructions and scope. Upon successful initial screening, a unique submission code will be assigned to the manuscript. All future correspondence regarding the manuscript should reference this code.
External Peer Review: Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will be sent to a section editor or a member of the editorial board, who will make a decision on whether to proceed with the review process. If deemed suitable, the manuscript will then be forwarded to at least two external reviewers with expertise in the relevant field. These reviewers will be selected by the section editor or editorial board member and will be asked to provide objective and constructive feedback on the manuscript's scientific rigor, originality, clarity, and significance.
Author Response: Reviewers' comments will be shared with the authors, who are then given the opportunity to provide a point-by-point response to the reviewers' concerns and suggestions.
Editorial Decision: The manuscript will first be reviewed by at least two external referees who will provide their comments and recommendations. Following this, the relevant editor will evaluate the manuscript based on the referees' feedback and the authors' responses. If the editor recommends acceptance, the manuscript will then be forwarded to the Editor-in-Chief for final approval. The Editor-in-Chief, in consultation with the Associate Editors if necessary, will make the final decision on publication, which may include acceptance, rejection, or an invitation for revision.
Estimated Timelines:
