Author Instructions

Regarding Special Issue paper, after passing the initial check, the manuscript will be successively assigned to the Assistant
Editor, Guest Editor, and then to the Editor-in-Chief, or the Executive Editor in the case of conflict of interest for the Editor-
in-Chief to review. The Editor-in-Chief, or the Executive Editor may reject manuscripts that they deem highly unlikely to
pass peer review without further consultation. Once your manuscript has passed the Editorial assessment, the Assistant
Editor will start to organize peer-review.
9.3 Process
JMI operates a single-blind review process, which means that reviewers know the names of authors, but the names of
the reviewers are hidden from the authors. The scientific quality of the research described in the manuscript is assessed
by a minimum of three independent expert reviewers. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the final decision regarding
acceptance or rejection of the manuscript. For controversial manuscripts, the Editor-in-Chief is responsible for making the
final decision.
9.4 Decisions
Your research will be judged on scientific soundness only, not on its perceived impact as judged by Editors or referees.
There are three possible decisions: Accept (your study satisfies all publication criteria), Invitation to Revise (more work is
required to satisfy all criteria), and Reject (your study fails to satisfy key criteria and it is highly unlikely that further work
can address its shortcomings).
