Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to SKIJIIM are screened by the editorial team for scope, completeness, originality, ethical clarity, and basic scholarly quality. Suitable manuscripts are assigned for peer review.

1. Initial screening. Editors check journal fit, manuscript structure, ethical documentation, and similarity concerns.
2. Peer review. Reviewers evaluate research design, clinical or scientific relevance, analysis, interpretation, ethical clarity, and contribution.
3. Editorial decision. Decisions may be accept, minor revision, major revision, resubmit for review, or decline.
4. Revision check. Authors are expected to respond carefully to reviewer and editor comments.
5. Production. Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting, layout, and publication.

The review process is designed to improve manuscripts while protecting editorial independence and publication quality.
