Peer Review Process

JMMR (Jurnal Medicoeticolegal dan Manajemen Rumah Sakit) implements Double-blind Peer Review Process. All submitted manuscripts are read by Editor in Chief of the JMMR (Jurnal Medicoeticolegal dan Manajemen Rumah Sakit) initially for desk evaluation. Unsuitable submitted manuscripts in terms of focus and scope would be rejected promptly without external review. Manuscripts evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership would be assigned to a corresponding section editor for further handling. The section editor will request at least two scientists to review the manuscript. Based on the comments from the reviewers, Section Editor, and Editor in Chief will make the decision on the manuscript.

Editors and reviewers provide constructive feedback on the evaluation results to the author. The duration of the review process in JMMR (Jurnal Medicoeticolegal dan Manajemen Rumah Sakit) is 4 - 12 weeks.
