Peer Review Process
All articles received are duly acknowledged. Once the manuscripts are received, they will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that they are being submitted only to MED PHOENIX and have not been submitted elsewhere simultaneously, published, or already accepted for publication elsewhere. First, the Editors will review all submitted manuscripts and then subsequently send them to expert peer reviewers blinded to author(s) identity and vice-versa.
Articles with insufficient originality, serious scientific and technical flaws, or lack of a significant message, plagiarised matter, and not following the guidelines appropriately are rejected or if good article are written poorly then author are requested to re-submit after the revision according to the journal’s format.
