Double-Blind Peer Review
AMRP operates a double-blind peer-review process for eligible manuscripts.
Under this system:
- Reviewers do not receive the identity of the authors.
- Authors do not receive the identity of reviewers.
- Manuscripts are evaluated by independent reviewers with appropriate subject expertise.
- Authors should therefore submit a manuscript file without identifying information where required by the submission system.
- Reviewer recommendations are advisory. The final editorial decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief or designated handling editor.
Certain content, such as editorials, invited commentaries, or other non-research material, may follow a different editorial assessment process. The review status of published content should be transparent.
Editorial Process & Manuscript Processing
- Stage 1 – Submission: The corresponding author submits the manuscript through the journal's online submission system.
- Stage 2 – Technical Check: The editorial office verifies manuscript completeness, file format, authorship information, ethical declarations, conflict-of-interest declaration, funding information, data availability statement, and reporting checklist where applicable.
- Stage 3 – Editorial Screening: The manuscript is assessed for journal scope, scientific relevance, basic methodological suitability, ethical concerns, and originality and similarity concerns.
- Stage 4 – Peer Review: Suitable manuscripts are sent to independent reviewers.
- Stage 5 – Editorial Decision: The editor evaluates the manuscript and reviewer reports.
- Stage 6 – Revision: Authors may be asked to submit a revised manuscript and point-by-point response.
- Stage 7 – Final Decision: The editor determines whether the manuscript is acceptable for publication.
- Stage 8 – Production: Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting, typesetting, proofreading, and metadata preparation.
- Stage 9 – Publication: The final article is published online according to the journal's publication model.
