Editorial Process

---

The Advances in Life and Medical Sciences (ALMS) is committed to a fair, transparent, and efficient editorial process to ensure the quality

and integrity of published research.

Step 1. Manuscript Submission

Authors should submit manuscripts through the journal’s online submission system. All submissions should comply with the journal’s

submission requirements and manuscript preparation guidelines.

Step 2. Initial Editorial Screening

The Editorial Office conducts an initial assessment to determine whether the manuscript:

·Falls within the journal’s aims and scope

·Meets the basic submission and formatting requirements

·Demonstrates appropriate academic quality and originality

Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be returned to the authors for revision or declined before peer review.

Step 3. Similarity Check

All submissions undergo a similarity check to identify potential plagiarism or duplicate publication.

Manuscripts must meet the journal’s originality requirements before proceeding to peer review.

Step 4. Editorial Assessment

The Editor-in-Chief or an assigned editor evaluates the manuscript for its scholarly contribution, methodological soundness,

and suitability for external review.

Step 5. Double-Blind Peer Review

Suitable manuscripts are sent to independent expert reviewers under a double-blind peer-review process.

Typically, each manuscript is reviewed by at least two reviewers who evaluate:

·Originality and significance

·Research methodology

·Academic quality

·Clarity of presentation

·Relevance to the journal

Step 6. Editorial Decision

Based on the reviewers’ reports, the editor will make one of the following decisions:

·Accept

·Minor Revision

·Major Revision

·Reject

Additional reviewers may be invited if further evaluation is required.

Step 7. Revision

Authors invited to revise their manuscripts should submit:

·A revised manuscript; and

·A point-by-point response to the reviewers’ comments

Revised manuscripts may undergo additional review when necessary.

Step 8. Acceptance and Production

After final acceptance, manuscripts proceed to:

·Copyediting

·Typesetting

·Author proof review

·DOI registration

·Online publication

Accepted articles may be published online as soon as production is complete.
