Peer Review Process

Review policy

The practice of peer review is intended to ensure that only good science is published. As an objective method of guaranteeing excellence in scholarly publishing, it has been adopted by all reputable scientific journals. Our referees play a vital role in maintaining the high standards of the Journal of Pragmatics, which is why all incoming manuscripts are peer-reviewed following the procedure outlined below.

Initial manuscript evaluation

One of the Editors first evaluates all submitted manuscripts. It is rare, but it is possible for an exceptional manuscript to be accepted at this stage. Manuscripts rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, have poor grammar or English language, or are outside the aims and scope of the journal. Those that meet the minimum criteria are normally passed on to at least two expert referees for review. Authors of manuscripts rejected at this stage will usually be informed within two weeks of receipt.

Type of peer review

The Medicina Biomedica Journal employs ‘double blind’ reviewing, in which the referees remain anonymous to the author(s) throughout and following the refereeing process, whilst the identity of the author(s) is likewise unknown to the reviewers.

Final report

A final decision to accept or reject the manuscript will be sent to the author along with the recommendations made by the referees, including (if applicable) the latter’s verbatim comments.

The Chief Editor's decision is final

Referees advise the Chief Editor, who is responsible for the final decision to accept or reject the article.
