Peer Review Policy

The Electronic Journal of Applied Mathematics (EJAM) applies a single-blind peer-review policy. Under this model, the identities of the reviewers are not disclosed to the authors, while the reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities.

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their relevance to the aims and scope of the journal, basic scholarly quality, presentation, and compliance with journal policies and publication ethics. Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be returned to the authors for correction or rejected without external review.

Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are normally sent to at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Where necessary, the handling editor may seek additional reviewer reports or editorial advice before reaching a decision.

Reviewers are expected to evaluate manuscripts objectively, fairly, and confidentially. They should provide constructive and evidence-based comments on the originality, mathematical soundness, clarity, significance, and relevance of the work. Reviewers must disclose any conflicts of interest and decline the review invitation where impartiality cannot be maintained.

All materials submitted for review must be treated as confidential documents. Information obtained through the peer-review process must not be disclosed or used for personal or professional advantage.

Based on the reviewers’ reports and the editor’s assessment, the editorial decision may be one of the following:

  • acceptance,
  • minor revision,
  • major revision, or
  • rejection.

If revision is requested, authors should submit a revised manuscript together with a response to the reviewers’ comments. Revised manuscripts may be returned to the original reviewers for further evaluation where appropriate.

The final decision on publication rests with the handling editor and/or the Editor-in-Chief. Editorial decisions are made on the basis of scholarly merit, relevance to the journal, reviewers’ reports, and compliance with journal policies.

The journal aims to complete peer review in a timely manner. However, the actual review period may vary depending on reviewer availability, the complexity of the manuscript, the number of revision rounds, and the responsiveness of the authors.
