JME Peer review process The JME peer reviews all the material it receives, internally or externally. About half the papers are rejected after review in house. The usual reasons for rejection at this stage are insufficient originality, insufficient quality, or the absence of a message that is important to the readers of the JME. We aim to reach a first decision on all manuscripts within 6 to 8 weeks of submission. Rejection is often much quicker than this, however, we reject about between a third and half of all submissions without external peer review. If we make an offer of publication subject to revision we usually ask authors to return their articles to us within the subsequent month. For original research articles an editor will usually take each article through from start to finish. The handling editor aims to read through and make a decision as to whether to send the article out for review within 7 days. If chosen for review your research article will be sent out for external review to at least 2 reviewers. The reviewers are given 3 weeks to complete their review of your article. You should, however keep in mind that reviewers may decline or may deliver late despite reminders, so the review process may take more than the time we give the reviewers. In relation to articles for JME that survive external review decisions are either made by one of the Editors in Chief in clear cases, or they are referred to an editorial committee meeting where the editors make the final decision. Article provenance Who had the idea, and was the article externally peer reviewed? At the end of every accepted editorial, review, paper, brief report, case report and response article the JME will add a statement explaining the article's provenance. The options are: not commissioned; externally peer reviewed not commissioned; not externally peer reviewed commissioned; externally peer reviewed commissioned; not externally peer reviewed "Not externally peer reviewed" refers to those articles that have been reviewed internally by a second member of the editorial team. Peer review for papers submitted by JME editorial staff Editorials and obituaries written by JME editors do not undergo external peer review. Original research articles authored by a member of the editorial team are independently peer reviewed, an editor will have no input or influence on the decision of the article. Submitting an appeal Peer review by editors and external reviewers is usually based on a mix of evidence and opinion and may not always lead to the best decision. We welcome serious appeals, and many succeed.
