Process of Review
The manuscripts submitted to JOMOPS are initially evaluated by the editors and the Editorial Board.  The review process begins for the manuscripts that are found acceptable. According to their subjects, manuscripts are sent to reviewers from the relevant fields. The member of the Editorial Board that examines the work may suggest the reviewers according to their areas of expertise from the Journal’s reviewer pool, or may suggest new reviewer(s) in line with the research area of the manuscript. The suggested reviewers are evaluated by the editors, and the manuscript is sent to reviewers. The reviewers must reply within 3 days whether they can evaluate the work or not.

The reviewers are given 21 days to send their reports. Authors must respond to the reviewer’s suggestions and revise their works within 7 days at the latest. Reviewers may suggest not more than two rounds of revision for the same manuscript. Reviewers are required to evaluate the revised work (submitted after at most two rounds of revision) and arrive at a decision on the manuscript (i.e. accept or reject).
In the event of a manuscript being accepted for publication by the reviewers and the Editorial Board, the editors make the final decision and inform the author.
