Peer Review Process

Research articles or Manuscripts submitted Indonesian Global Journal of Medical Research and Development (IGJMRD) are initially reviewed by the editors for general fit with the Indonesian Global Journal of Medical Research and Development (IGJMRD) Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indo Global Mandiri focus and scope and for the writing quality. Only those research articles meeting the Indonesian Global Journal of Medical Research and Development (IGJMRD) focus and scope will be sent to reviewers for a double-blind review. Review time is typically 2-4 months. Two reviewers will be assigned to evaluate the research articles or manuscripts based on their expertise. Reviewers are expected to return their reviews within four weeks. A third reviewer will be appointed in case one of the reviewers disagrees with the quality of the research article for publication. The assigned reviewers evaluate the research articles using a standard manuscript evaluation form. They are required to treat all the information in the research articles as confidential. Views of the assigned reviewers guide Indonesian Global Journal of Medical Research and Development (IGJMRD) editors to make a final decision on the research articles. Final decision always belongs to Indonesian Global Journal of Medical Research and Development (IGJMRD) editors. Those manuscripts that are judged by the editors and assigned editors to be inappropriate are rejected promptly without external reviews.

The editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' advice, from among several possibilities:

|Accept as written without any revisions|

|Accept with minor revisions (a second round of review is not necessary)|

|Accept with major revisions (a second round of review will be necessary)|

|Reject (the paper is not suitable for publication)|
