Peer Review Policy

The Global Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (GJMPS) follows a rigorous and transparent peer review process to ensure the publication of high-quality scholarly research. The peer review system is designed to maintain the integrity, reliability, and academic quality of the journal.

Type of Peer Review

The journal follows a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are kept confidential. This approach ensures impartial and unbiased evaluation of manuscripts.

Initial Editorial Assessment

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial screening by the editorial office and the Editor-in-Chief to determine whether the submission:

Falls within the scope of the journal

Meets the journal’s formatting and submission requirements

Demonstrates sufficient academic quality and originality

Complies with ethical publishing standards

Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be rejected before external peer review.

Reviewer Selection

Manuscripts passing the initial screening are assigned to independent expert reviewers who possess relevant expertise in the subject area of the manuscript. Typically, each manuscript is evaluated by two or more reviewers.

Review Criteria

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on several criteria, including:

Scientific originality and significance

Methodological soundness

Validity of data and analysis

Relevance to the journal’s scope

Clarity and quality of presentation

Reviewers provide detailed comments and recommendations to assist the editors in making a final decision.

Editorial Decision

Based on the reviewers’ reports and editorial assessment, the Editor-in-Chief may reach one of the following decisions:

Accept the manuscript for publication

Accept with minor revisions

Request major revisions and resubmission

Reject the manuscript

Authors will receive the reviewers’ comments and will be given an opportunity to revise their manuscripts when revisions are requested.

Confidentiality

All manuscripts submitted to the journal are treated as confidential documents. Reviewers and editors must not disclose or use any unpublished information for personal advantage.

Ethical Standards in Peer Review

The peer review process follows internationally recognized ethical standards recommended by COPE and ICMJE. Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive, and timely evaluations.

Any conflicts of interest must be declared, and reviewers should decline to review manuscripts where impartiality may be compromised.
