Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts are subject to a single-blind review process through an online system. The review process takes 2-4 weeks, and its main focus is the novelty of the manuscripts and their contributions to the multidisciplinary development.

Peer review procedures

• The corresponding author submits the manuscript through JCM's online system
• The JCM Editor Board will assess the quality of the manuscript and identify potential cases of scientific misconduct, including authorship, ownership, and plagiarism.
• The Editorial Board notifies the authors of their submissions and informs them if the papers are suitable for the journal. Therefore, the manuscript will be sent to two reviewers for the review process.
• At least two reviewers review every submitted paper. The review process is an online process and contains clear referees' statements concerning the paper's publishing approval or its rejection
• In case of minor revisions, the article is sent to the author(s) together with a referee's opinions. The authors are asked to respond to the referees' comments and make the appropriate adjustments in the text. Then, the authors send back the corrected version. 
• The Editorial Board makes the final decision on publication.
