STEP ONE: Formatting and guidelines assessment

Our UJEMI editors make a quality check of the manuscript and the figures, and make sure that the authors followed all the submission guidelines. At this stage, the editors will contact authors if:

• The manuscript is missing any of the sections stated in our guidelines
• There are any documents missing in the submission

STEP TWO: Editorial panel review

Our editorial panel will read the manuscript and assess whether the manuscript is

• within the scope of our journal
• clearly written
• presents innovative and original research that contributes to the field
• presents conclusions that are well supported by the data included in the manuscript

STEP THREE: Copyediting

After the UJEMI editor accepts the manuscript, the authors are informed of the decision and the copyediting process starts. After the manuscript is formatted it goes back to the authors for a final formatting check before it is published in our OJS platform.
