Peer Review Process is double-blind process for all articles (Reviewer does not know the identity of the author, and vice-versa) to guarantee unbiased reviews. However, in some cases and according to editor in chief decision Peer Review Process rarely could be single-blind (The author does not know the identity of the reviewer) but it is absolutely forbidden to be an Open Peer review (The identity of the author and the reviewer is known by all participants, during or after the review process). AIMJ encourages Transparent Peer review (The review report is posted with the published article. the Reviewer can choose if they want to share their identity) if he/she declared that in comment to editor section. Authors are responsible for preparing the articles before submission to the editorial office. Articles not meeting the required criteria (mentioned in authors' instructions) will be rejected immediately without going through to peer review. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final. Notice:
