Editorial Review
The review process starts with editorial review of the submitted articles. The main objective of the editorial review is to decide whether the submitted article is good enough to be forwarded for peer review or not. If corrections are required at this stage regarding overall writing of the paper and whether authors have followed the guidelines of the journal are checked. The main requirement at this stage is to check whether the submitted paper is suitable for publication in the journal or not and has substantial content that is required for publication in JMMIHS. If a paper fails at this stage, the paper will be returned back to the author with notice. Editorial review is accomplished with at least three of the editorial board members.
Peer Review
Peer review is done with one or two reviewers (upon availability of reviewer) blinded about the authors name except in the case if an editorial board member is peer reviewer. Detail review of the paper is done at this stage covering every aspect of the paper except formatting. Peer review is sent to accomplished and prominent Subject Experts, professors or professionals working in government or other sectors. In the review, a reviewer needs to categorically state whether a paper is rejected, needs major/minor corrections for acceptance or accepted without any need for correction. Based upon the peer review report, the final decision about the paper is made by the editor-in-chief of the journal.
The entire review process is scheduled to be completed within about two months. However, this will depend upon the selection of the peer reviewer and the duration spent in peer review process.
