Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to JATAV undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process.

 Initial Evaluation

The editorial team evaluates each submission to assess:

  • Relevance to the journal scope
  • Scientific quality and novelty
  • Compliance with author guidelines
  • Ethical standards and plagiarism screening

Manuscripts failing to meet the minimum requirements may be rejected without external review.

 Double-Blind Peer Review

Eligible manuscripts are reviewed by at least two independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the manuscript topic. The identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed throughout the review process.

 Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on:

  • Originality and scientific contribution
  • Methodological rigor
  • Data validity and interpretation
  • Ethical compliance
  • Clarity and organization of the manuscript
  • Relevance to clinical and translational medicine

Editorial Decision

Based on reviewer recommendations, the editor may decide:

  • Accept Submission
  • Minor Revisions Required
  • Major Revisions Required
  • Reject Submission

 Revision Stage

Authors are required to address reviewer comments carefully and submit a revised manuscript with a detailed response letter.

 Final Decision

The Editor-in-Chief makes the final publication decision.

The average review process typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on reviewer availability and manuscript revisions.
