Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to The Journal of Inter-American Medicine undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and scientific validity of the articles published. In a double-blind review system, both the authors and the reviewers remain anonymous to each other throughout the review process. This approach is adopted to minimize bias and promote objective and impartial evaluations.

Once a manuscript is submitted, the editorial team conducts an initial screening to assess its alignment with the journal’s scope and basic quality standards. If the manuscript passes this preliminary review, it is then assigned to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the relevant field.

The reviewers are asked to evaluate the manuscript based on its novelty, methodological rigor, clarity, and contribution to the field. Their recommendations may include:

• Acceptance without revisions
• Acceptance with minor revisions
• Major revisions required
• Rejection

Authors are notified of the review results and, if revisions are requested, are given the opportunity to address the reviewers’ comments and resubmit their work. Final decisions on publication are made by the editorial board, based on the reviewers' feedback and the authors' responses.

This peer review process ensures that only high-quality and impactful research is published in the journal.
