1. Peer Review Process

Once manuscripts are submitted, all manuscripts are subject to 3 experts in the corresponding field as confidential(double-blind). The Editorial Board may request that authors revise the manuscripts in light of the reviewers' suggestions. The authors should upload the revised files with a reply to each item in the reviewers' comments after revision. The authors should complete revisions within 30 days after the request. If the authors would like to extend the revision period to more than 30 days, they should negotiate with the Editorial Board.

The peer review process usually takes six weeks after manuscript submission. Revisions are usually requested to take account of the reviewers’ comments and critique. The Editorial Board will make a final decision on the approval for publication of the submitted manuscripts and can request any further corrections, revisions, and deletions of the article text if necessary. The corresponding author is notified as soon as possible of the editor’s decision to accept, reject, or request revision of manuscripts. When the final revised manuscript is determined completely acceptable according to the JAMET format and criteria, it will be scheduled for publication in the following issue. Rejected papers will not be peer-reviewed again. The submitted manuscripts should not be under simultaneous consideration by any other journal.
