Peer Review Policy
All research articles submitted to JPRSM undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure the highest standards of scientific integrity and quality.
Key Principles of Our Review Process:
Initial Screening: The Editor-in-Chief evaluates all submitted manuscripts for alignment with the journal's scope and basic technical requirements (including plagiarism checks). Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria are rejected immediately.
Double-Blind Peer Review: Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent external experts in the respective field.
The review process is strictly anonymous: authors do not know the identity of the reviewers, and reviewers do not know the identity of the authors.
Reviewers' Evaluation: Reviewers assess the manuscript based on originality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and contribution to the field.
They provide one of the following recommendations: Accept without revisions, Minor revisions required, Major revisions required, or Reject.
Final Decision: The Editorial Board makes the final decision based on the reviewers' reports.
If revisions are required, authors must address all comments and submit a revised version within the specified deadline.
