Peer Review Policy

IMS gives utmost importance to the peer-review process. All submissions will be reviewed initially by the editors for appropriateness to the journal. If the editor considers the manuscript to be appropriate, it will then be peer-reviewed by independent and anonymous expert referees. The reviewers do not know each other and the authors do not know anything about the identity of the reviewers. After the peer review process, the editor decides on the acceptance, revision or rejection of the manuscript in light of the reviewer reports.
