Peer Review Process

The editorial flow in the Journal of Health Management (JMK) goes through several stages. First, we will receive your initial manuscript and pass it to the first editorial screening. The first editorial process considers several aspects, e.g. aims and scope of the manuscripts in line with JMK, novelty of the manuscripts, ethics for the manuscript submitted, clear writing organization, and matching with the journal guidelines. The editorial screening will determine whether the manuscript will be reviewed or rejected. Before the editorial board allows this manuscript to be under the review process, manuscripts with minor revisions will have a 2-week revision deadline. Those with major revisions will need a 1-month revision and have to resubmit the revised manuscript. It is possible that manuscripts submitted have no revision and can be published at one time. The manuscripts will undergo proofreading and the Turnitin process before and after review. In the review process, it takes 1-4 weeks to complete. Afterward, the authors must revise it according to the reviewers' suggestions. At the final stage, our section editor will recommend whether the manuscript is eligible for publication, and the final decision belongs to the editor-in-chief.
