Editorial Process

Peer Review System

JBRES follows a structured, double-blind peer review system to ensure scientific accuracy, originality, and ethical compliance. Each submission is evaluated by subject-expert reviewers and editorial members to maintain high academic standards and transparency throughout the review process.

Double-Blind Peer Review • Ethical Standards • Open Access Quality

Peer Review Policy

At the Journal of Biomedical Research & Environmental Sciences (JBRES), peer review is the foundation of our quality. Every submission is evaluated through a double-blind peer review process—authors and reviewers remain anonymous to ensure fairness, reduce bias, and strengthen scientific integrity.

What peer review does: improves clarity, verifies scientific reasoning, and helps authors present research in a stronger and more citable form.

Why Peer Review Matters

Peer review is a professional quality-check performed by experts in related fields. It prevents low-quality or incomplete manuscripts from reaching the scientific community and supports authors with constructive guidance. For open access journals, peer review is even more important because published research becomes immediately accessible worldwide—so it must be accurate, ethical, and clearly presented.

Quality & Validity

Reviewers assess research design, methods, interpretation, and whether conclusions are supported by evidence.

Clarity & Structure

Feedback helps improve readability, logic flow, visuals/tables, and the strength of the scientific narrative.

Ethics & Integrity

Checks for ethical compliance, conflicts of interest, appropriate citations, and responsible reporting.

How the JBRES Peer Review Process Works

Our editorial workflow is designed to be author-friendly and transparent. Below is a standard step-by-step overview. (Exact timings may vary depending on subject area and reviewer availability.)

1
Initial Editorial Screening
Scope fit, format check, basic quality review, and plagiarism screening (where applicable).
2
Double-Blind Peer Review
Independent reviewers evaluate methodology, novelty, results, discussion, and references.
3
Editorial Decision
Decision may be: Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject.
4
Revision & Author Response
Authors revise and provide a point-by-point response to reviewer comments.
5
Final Checks & Production
Copyediting, formatting, author proofing, DOI assignment, and online publication.
6
Open Access Dissemination
Final article is openly accessible, shareable, and discoverable for global readers.
Author Tip: A clear cover letter + complete reporting (methods, data, figures, references) helps reviewers evaluate faster.

Benefits of Peer Review for Authors

Stronger Manuscript & Better Presentation

More Credible & Citable Research
Peer-reviewed articles are trusted more and often receive better scholarly attention.
Methodology & Statistical Improvements
Reviewers may suggest controls, analyses, or reporting standards to strengthen validity.
Fairness Through Double-Blind Review
Anonymity helps reduce conflicts and keeps feedback focused on science.
