All manuscripts submitted to JPMA initially undergo internal / desk review. A manuscript not found suitable for publication as regards to the topic or poor writing, breach of ethical principles, or conflict of interest issues, is likely to be rejected on the initial internal editorial review stage.
After the internal / desk review, the manuscript is sent for external peer reviews. This is a double-blind process. Research articles are reviewed by two reviewers.
Original articles authored by the editorial board are also externally peer reviewed.
Editorials and obituaries authored by the editor-in-chief will not be subjected to an external peer review.
"JPMA follows the instructions for Peer Reviewers as recommended by ICMJE. (Link)
Peer Reviewers are expected to keep the manuscript sent to them strictly confidential.
The document should not be shared with a colleague. It should be destroyed after completion of the review process.
If the Reviewers need assistance from AI Technology, they should ask for prior permission from the journal.
The reviewed document should be returned within the allotted time of Three Weeks."
