Review procedure

The review procedure for the Osteology and Rheumatology Open Journal is meticulously designed to ensure the publication of high-quality research in the fields of osteology and rheumatology. The process begins with authors preparing their manuscripts according to the journal's specific submission guidelines, which outline the required formatting, structure, and ethical considerations. Once a manuscript is submitted, it undergoes an initial editorial assessment to evaluate its relevance, originality, and adherence to the journal's scope. A plagiarism check is conducted to ensure the integrity of the work. If the manuscript passes this preliminary evaluation, it is assigned to expert peer reviewers who specialize in the relevant areas of research. These reviewers critically assess the manuscript's scientific rigor, methodology, and overall contribution to the field, providing constructive feedback and recommendations to the editorial team.

After the peer review process, the editor makes a decision based on the reviewers' comments, which may include acceptance, requests for revisions, or rejection. Authors are typically given the opportunity to address the feedback and revise their manuscripts accordingly. The revised manuscript is then re-evaluated by the editor, who considers the changes made before making a final publication decision. Upon acceptance, authors may be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to cover the costs associated with publication. The final manuscript undergoes copyediting and proofreading to ensure clarity and accuracy before being published and made accessible to the public. The journal may employ various peer review models, such as single-blind or double-blind reviews, to enhance the objectivity and transparency of the evaluation process. This rigorous review procedure not only upholds the journal's commitment to scientific excellence but also fosters a collaborative environment for authors and reviewers, ultimately contributing to the advancement of knowledge in osteology and rheumatology.
