The final decision—acceptance, revision, or rejection—is made by the handling editor in consultation with the editorial board, based on reviewers' recommendations.
JAMSD's peer review process reflects international best practices and is guided by COPE recommendations. The journal’s Editorial Board comprises experienced researchers and health professionals from across disciplines and geographic regions.
