Peer Review System in JJCMB

Utilizing a dual peer review approach strikes a balance between confidentiality and transparency, upholding rigorous academic standards while promoting scholarly engagement.

1. Double-Blind Peer Review System:
   • JJCMB follows a Double-Blind Peer Review System, where both the authors and the reviewers remain anonymous to each other. This process ensures an unbiased and fair evaluation of submitted manuscripts, maintaining the integrity and quality of published research.
2. Open Peer Review 
   • In addition to the traditional double-blind review, the journal has adopted an Open Peer Review system since August 2019. This means that, upon publication, the list of all reviewers’ comments can be made publicly accessible, promoting transparency and constructive scientific discourse. Open peer review enhances credibility by allowing readers to see the evaluation process and how the manuscript was improved based on expert feedback.
