PLAGIARISM SCREENING

PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Journal of Basic Medical Veterinary (JBMV) conducts a double-blind review process. A paper's publication is determined by peer review and editorial evaluation. A paper's publication is determined by peer review and editorial evaluation. First, an editorial committee made up of editorial staff members evaluates each paper. The main goal is to determine which papers should be sent for peer review and to make a prompt conclusion about those that shouldn't. 

Initial Editorial Assessment
Journal Basic of Medical Veteriner perform an initial reviews as initial editorial assessment process by editor-in-chief and editors to determine whether to reject the article or send it for peer review. The three key points are language, scope, and guideline compliance. An author may occasionally receive a paper back asking for changes so that editors can decide whether or not to send it out for review. After submitting their work, authors should anticipate hearing back from the initial editorial assessment step of the review process in one to two weeks.

Review Process
Peer review will begin once the paper clears the initial editorial assessment. Each paper underwent a minimum of two reviews, chosen for their respective areas of expertise, as part of the peer-review process. Double-blind reviews are used for all reviews, meaning that neither the authors nor the peer reviewers are aware of each other's identities. After the review request was received, the reviewers had three weeks to finish the review in each reviewing round.

Decision-Making Process
The peer reviewer's recommendations determine whether an article is accepted for publication; two acceptance recommendations are necessary. The editor is entitled to request the opinion of a third reviewer if the recommendations from the first two reviewers differ. The editor-in-chief, editorial committee (national or international advisory board), and reviewers' recommendations are taken into consideration before making the ultimate choice to publish.

The editor can reject the manuscript at this stage:
1. Initial submission if it does not fit the focus and scope of the journal;
2. Peer-review process decisions;
3. The revision of the manuscript does not conform to peer-reviewed advice;
4. The author does not follow the editor's instructions according to deadlines.
The editor will send a notification of the rejection of the manuscript to the author through OJS.

The decision of the editorial board is absolute and free of conflicts of interest.

The article review process usually takes an average of 12 weeks. This review period depends on the editors' and reviewers' duration in reviewing the manuscript.
