The journal employs a double-blind peer review system, which is widely accepted by leading academic publications to ensure transparency and neutrality in the editorial process.
Key aspects of our peer review policy include:
• Anonymity: The identities of both reviewers and authors remain undisclosed to each other to prevent potential bias.
• Expert Selection: At least two reviewers with relevant subject expertise are invited for each manuscript.
• Confidentiality: All manuscript content and reviewer comments are confidential and must not be disclosed or shared outside the editorial process.
• Conflict of Interest: Reviewers are required to declare any potential conflict of interest and decline the assignment if applicable.
• Timeliness: Reviewers must respond to invitations within 7 days and submit completed reviews within 14 days of acceptance.
• Ethical Standards: Plagiarism, data falsification, and unethical practices must be reported by reviewers if detected.
This peer review system is essential for safeguarding the quality and trustworthiness of the research published in the Archives of Men’s Health (AMH).
