Peer Review Process
Once manuscript is submitted to the Managing Editor for review (which takes
normally 30-40 days). The Managing Editor
evaluates each paper to determine if its topic and content is suitable for
consideration by the AJMR. Papers that do not
meet minimum criteria are returned to the authors after this.
Papers that pass the initial review are assigned to an Associate Editor from
editorial team, who selects several
referees based on their expertise in that particular field. Each paper is
reviewed by at least two referees under a
double-blind peer review process where both the referees and the authors are
kept anonymous. Referees are asked to
evaluate the paper based on the basis of their originality, novelty,
clarity, completeness, significance, soundness of
methodology and research contribution and relevance to design practices.
Based on the Review Remarks, the papers may be
placed in any one of the categories like Clear Reject, Reconsider after
Major Revision, Reconsider after Minor Revision,
Accept as it is. To facilitate timely publication, referees are asked to
complete their reviews within 3-4 weeks. After
collecting the referees' reports, the Associate Editor makes a
recommendation on the acceptability of the paper to the
Managing editor.
Managing Editor will be responsible to look for the reviewers and
maintaining a control in the revision process.
Revised manuscripts are usually reviewed by the referees of the original
submission, but the responsible editorial team
members/ Editor may seek input from additional reviewers.
Important Note: Authors should submit only papers
that have been carefully proofread and polished.
