All manuscripts submitted to Annals of Advanced Medical Sciences are evaluated through a structured editorial and peer review process.
Initially, the editorial office screens the submitted manuscript to assess its suitability for the journal’s scope, originality, and compliance with submission guidelines. Manuscripts that do not meet basic requirements or lack scientific merit may be rejected at this stage.
Manuscripts considered suitable are sent for double-blind peer review, where the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent experts in the relevant field.
Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editorial team may:
Accept the manuscript
Request minor or major revisions
Reject the manuscript
Authors receiving revision requests must submit a point-by-point response addressing reviewer comments. The final decision regarding publication rests with the Editor-in-Chief.
Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting, formatting, and proof preparation before publication.
