Peer Review Policy & Process

General Information

All Original Articles, Review Articles, Case Report/Series, Short Communications, and Technical Notes submitted to Razavi Journal of Medicine go under an initial screening by the editorial office before inviting reviewers. The manuscript's topic will be checked to adapt to the scope of Razavi Journal of Medicine. Incomplete submissions without the required documents will be back to the author’s submission dashboard in his/her profile, which can be found under the “Submissions Sent Back to Author” link.
