    • Year of creation: 2014

    Peer review process

    The first step of submission for authors is to create an account and use the id of an available authorized open access database to validate its submission:
    * Once submission is effective, in 5 days an editor-in-chief decides to take charge of the submission.
    * Editor-in-chief has 7 days to choose at least two editor-reviewers.  
    * Chosen Editor-reviewers will stay anonymous for author(s). Editor-reviewers review the paper and send back their comment on the JDMDH website in less than 30 days after accepting the review. If he/she gives the review to a colleague, the name of the adjoined reviewer will appear as a contributor for the current year. In any case all  names of reviewers appear on the JDMDH website.
    * In the case the paper is accepted, authors will have 30 days to give back their corrections.
    The cycle can be renewed, and after all reviewers agree with the final corrections, the paper is accepted by the editor-in-chief and appears immediately on the "latest papers" topic of JDMDH website.
