PEER REVIEW PROCESS

PEER REVIEW PROCESS
Any manuscripts received for review will be treated as confidential documents. They are first evaluated by the editors to determine if they merit full external review. Reviewers for DMMS are selected from the wider scientific community by the editors on the basis of their knowledge of the field. All papers are reviewed in a single-blind manner. It is rare for submitted manuscripts to be accepted without the need for revision. Please note that the request for a revision does not guarantee acceptance.

If redundant publication, plagiarism, fabricated data, ghost, guest or gift authorship, an ethical problem with a submitted manuscript, conflict of interest in a published article as well as other malpractice are suspected we follow the COPE flowcharts.
