Peer Review Process

Receipt of Manuscript Review Process and Revisions. Each manuscript will be acknowledged via e-mail in the order perceived. The acknowledgment will note the number assigned to the manuscript; this number should be referenced during all subsequent communications about the manuscript. JRAM uses a double-blind review, which means the identities of the reviewer is concealed from the author and vice verse.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 Peerreview Usually two and sometimes several reviewers will participate in the review of a manuscript. Re-review may be required after revision if, in the judgment of the editor, sufficient modification of the manuscript or data justifies another review cycle The journal absolutely forbids an open peer review (where the identity of the author and the reviewer is known by all participants, during or after the review process).
