Peer Review Policy
Peer Review Policy
The Journal of Agentic Intelligence in Medical Sciences (JAIMS) follows a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure the highest academic, ethical, and scientific standards. In this system, the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous, ensuring an unbiased, fair, and transparent evaluation of all submitted manuscripts.
Review Process
All manuscripts that pass the initial editorial screening are reviewed by independent external experts in the relevant research domain. These reviewers are not members of the journal’s editorial team and are selected based on their subject expertise, research experience, and publication record. By involving external domain specialists, JAIMS ensures that the evaluation process remains objective, high-quality, and scientifically sound.
Peer-Review Steps
The peer-review process at JAIMS is as follows:
| Step | Action | Estimated Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Internal Review by the Editor | 2-5 days |
| 2 | Peer Review (after successful initial screening) | 20–40 days |
| 3 | Communication of Review Reports to Authors (minor/major revision) | 2-5 days |
| 4 | Submission of the Revised Manuscript | 7–30 days |
| 5 | Submission of Compliance Reports (if major revision required) | 7-10 days |
| 6 | Acceptance of the Manuscript (upon satisfactory revision) | 3–7 days |
Total Estimated Time from Submission to Acceptance: 45–90 days
Additional Notes on the Process
- If a manuscript does not pass the initial editorial review, it is returned to the authors without external review.
- In Step 2, the manuscript may receive one of the following decisions:
- Rejection
- Acceptance with Minor Revisions
- Acceptance with Major Revisions
- Acceptance
Expedited Processing Clause
In certain cases, the review and publication timeline may be shorter than the estimates provided, depending on:
- Prompt submission of review reports
- Timely response and high-quality revisions from authors
- Efficient communication between reviewers and the editorial team
When these conditions are met, the editorial process may proceed faster without compromising review quality or ethical standards.
Author Guidelines
Authors are encouraged to revise their manuscripts carefully in accordance with reviewer comments to avoid delays. JAIMS maintains a transparent, impartial, and standardized review workflow to ensure the integrity and quality of published research.
