All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Mechanics of Continua and Mathematical Sciences (JMCMS) undergo an initial evaluation to assess their relevance to the journal’s scope, applicability, and baseline quality standards. Submissions that meet these criteria are advanced to the formal peer review stage.
JMCMS follows a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed to maintain impartiality. Reviewers are selected based on subject-area expertise and assigned with due consideration for ethical standards in academic publishing.
The standard review period is approximately 4 to 5 weeks. However, this timeframe may vary depending on the manuscript’s complexity and reviewer availability.
Based on the peer review, one of the following recommendations is made:
- Unconditional Acceptance: The manuscript is accepted, with or without minor editorial revisions.
- Conditional Acceptance: Authors are requested to revise the manuscript to address specific concerns before a final decision is made.
- Rejection in Current Form: The manuscript is rejected in its current version, but the authors may be invited to revise and resubmit following significant improvements.
- Outright Rejection: The manuscript is rejected due to fundamental issues such as lack of originality, inadequate contribution, or major technical or methodological flaws.
The final decision regarding acceptance or rejection rests solely with the Editorial Board, following a review of all reports and revisions.
