Becoming A Reviewer
MCMR Journal welcomes academic scholars, medical graduates, and healthcare petitioners to become reviewers for our journal. The journal seeks expertise in all areas of medicine and public health. Candidates can register or email us their current medical CVs to become reviewers.
Please note that a reviewer is a volunteer service; however, our team will provide.
Guidance for Peer Reviewers
- When you provide a review via our submission system, please declare any competing interests you may have concerning the article. These could be of a personal, professional, or financial nature.
- Before writing your review, you may find it helpful to browse our guidelines for authors. Reviews should be conducted fairly and objectively. Criticism should be objective, not merely based on differences of opinion, and should aim to help the author improve their paper.
- Our journal requires review forms to evaluate all manuscripts, articles, abstracts, case studies, and reports. The reviewer should provide feedback on the assigned review forms. AI technology is allowed to be used for review unless it violates confidentiality and for clinical studies and reports.
- All unpublished manuscripts are confidential documents. The existence of a manuscript under review should not be revealed to anyone other than the peer reviewers and editorial staff. Peer reviewers are required to maintain confidentiality regarding the manuscripts they review and must not divulge any information about a specific manuscript or its content to any third party without prior permission from the journal's editors.
- Reviewers should disclose to editors if and how AI technology is being used to facilitate their review and be aware that AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete, or biased.
- If we invite you to review an article and you choose to discuss the manuscript with a colleague, please remind them of the confidential nature of the paper and acknowledge their input in your review. Please also encourage your colleagues to register as reviewers.
- If you have any serious concerns relating to the publication ethics of a manuscript (e.g., if you believe you have encountered a case of plagiarism), you can contact us through our website in confidence.
- The Editor is responsible for accepting or rejecting a manuscript based on the reviewers' comments.
We are very grateful to all the reviewers who have supported our journal.
