The International Journal of Medical Arts sticks to a double-blind review process. Thus, if the editorial office decision to proceed in review process, the article will be passed to two or more reviewers with relevant expertise. The selection of reviewers depends on expertise, reputation and our own previous experience of a referee’s characteristics.

The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final.

Referees

Authors are advised to submit with their articles, the names, complete affiliations (spelled out), country and contact details of three potential reviewers. Email addresses and reviewer names will be checked for validity. Please ensure that the e-mail addresses are current. Reviewers who do not have an institutional e-mail address will only be considered if their affiliations are given and can be verified. When compiling this list of potential reviewers please consider the following important criteria: they must be knowledgeable about the manuscript subject area; must not be from your own institution; at least two of the suggested reviewers must be from another country than the authors'; and they should not have recent (less than four years) joint publications with any of the authors. However, the final choice of reviewers is at the editors' discretion.
