Peer Review Process

All contributions submitted to the Military Medical Journal that are selected for peer-review are sent to at least two, but usually two or more, independent reviewers, selected by the editors. From different types of peer-review, Single-Blind Review was selected to use; both the reviewer and the author remain anonymous. Author anonymity prevents any reviewer bias based on the author’s country of origin or previous controversial work. Articles written by prestigious or renowned authors are considered on the basis of the content of their papers, rather than on the author’s reputation. Military Medical Journal is committed to provide an efficient service for both, authors and readers. Our blind peer-review system along with the editorial board of independent editors provides a mean of rapid and fair publication decisions. Full peer-review process including editorial workflow can be understood through the following flow chart:
