Peer Review Process

JSMCAH employs a double-blind process at the review stage (the reviewer does not know the authors' identity, and the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers) but reveals the names of the reviewers upon publication. Peer reviewers are asked to adhere to the principles of COPE's Ethical Guidelines for Peer-reviewers.  Reviewers are selected based on their expertise.  It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that submissions are blinded.
