Initially all the submitted articles to the Razi Journal of Medical Science are first reviewed by an editorial committee consisting of 3 or more members of the editorial team to ensure their appropriateness and relevance to the framework of the journal. The prime purpose is to decide whether to send a paper for peer review and to give a rapid decision on those that are not. Papers which do not meet basic standards or are unlikely to be published irrespective of a positive peer review, for example because their novel contribution is insufficient or the relevance to the discipline is unclear, may be rejected at this point in order to avoid delays to authors who may wish to seek publication elsewhere. Manuscripts are also excluded by the editors if there are major faults in the methodology of research. Authors can expect a decision from this stage of the review process within 2 weeks of submission.
Accepted articles at the stage are reviewed in a double-blind manner, which means that during the reviewing process the names of the authors are unknown to the reviewers and vice versa. The journal follows a reviewing process, with a maximum of 12 weeks for peer reviewing process.
Each article is sent to two peer reviewers and a reviewer of statistics. The Editor-in-Chief evaluates the comments of reviewers and in case of clear discrepancies in the comments, the article is sent to the fourth reviewer. The comments of the reviewers and the decision of the Editor-in-Chief for accepting, reviewing (general or partial correction) or rejecting the article will be sent to the authors. The comments also include feedback on technical requirements and structural errors in the manuscript. The authors must submit the revised version containing the response to the reviewers within four weeks.
