At MedWin Publishers, we recognize the pivotal role played by each member of
our esteemed editorial boards in maintaining the highest standards of Open Access
Publishing. To ensure the integrity and quality of our publications, we outline the
following guidelines and responsibilities for our editorial board members:
Guidelines and Responsibilities:
- Editorial Board (EB) members should actively contribute to the
development and management of the journal, fostering a positive relationship with each
other.
- EB members must ensure a rigorous peer-review process conducted by
distinguished reviewers, maintaining strict confidentiality throughout.
- Protection of individual data and confidentiality must be upheld by EB
members, who are also responsible for ensuring the integrity of published work.
- Manuscript reviews by EB members should be conducted at their
convenience. If unable to review a manuscript due to time constraints, they are
encouraged to suggest alternative reviewers.
- Manuscripts may be assigned to two or three key reviewers in the
relevant research field, with the selection of reviewers being at the discretion of the
journal editor.
- The final decision on manuscript acceptance, modification, or
rejection lies solely with the editorial team. They must thoroughly assess content
quality, writing style, grammar, spelling, data presentation, and organization before
making a final decision.
- All EB members are invited to submit their valuable manuscripts at
their convenience.
- EB members should monitor reviews to provide clear suggestions and
honest corrections, fostering constructive feedback rather than resorting to unfair
language or offensive criticism.
- Encourage the submission of quality articles by writing editorials on
the journal's performance.
- EB members must ensure that the submitted manuscript is neither
plagiarized nor previously published elsewhere. In the case of plagiarism, EB members
have the authority to reject the article outright.
- Supervise and support the publisher in handling complaints and
appeals, addressing ethical concerns related to the publication of duplicate or
fraudulent work.
- EB members are categorized based on experience and contributions to
the journal.
