The Macedonian Journal of Anaesthesia (MJA) uses a double-blind peer review process for all manuscripts submitted to the journal.
-
Both reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the review.
-
Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent reviewers (domestic and/or international experts) with appropriate expertise.
Review Process
-
Initial editorial screening – The Editor-in-Chief and/or Associate Editors assess whether the manuscript fits the scope of the journal and meets basic ethical and technical requirements.
-
Double-blind review – Suitable manuscripts are sent to external reviewers, who assess originality, scientific quality, methodology, ethics, and clarity.
-
Decision – Based on the reviewers’ reports, the editorial team decides to accept, request minor/major revision, or reject the manuscript.
-
Revisions – The revised manuscript, together with responses to reviewers’ comments, is submitted by the corresponding author. If necessary, the revised version may be re-evaluated by reviewers.
The final decision on acceptance, categorization and order of publication is made by the Editorial Board.
MJA follows the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) regarding peer review ethics and integrity.
