Advanced Mechanical and Materials Research (AMMR) is committed to rigorous, fair, and timely peer review. All research submissions are evaluated through a double-anonymized (double-blind) process in which the identities of both authors and reviewers are withheld from one another to minimize bias.
Review Process
- 1Editorial screening — the editor checks the manuscript for scope, completeness, formatting, and similarity before it enters review.
- 2Reviewer assignment — at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise are invited.
- 3Review — reviewers assess originality, technical soundness, methodology, clarity, and significance, and submit confidential comments together with a recommendation.
- 4Decision — the handling editor makes a decision (accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject) informed by the reviewer reports.
- 5Revision and re-review — revised manuscripts may be returned to the original reviewers before a final decision.
Reviewer Responsibilities
- Treat the manuscript as a confidential document.
- Provide objective, constructive, and evidence-based assessments.
- Declare any conflict of interest and decline where appropriate.
- Alert the editor to any ethical concern, including suspected plagiarism or data manipulation.
- Not use unpublished material or ideas from the manuscript for personal advantage.
Indicative timeline: authors can typically expect a first decision within 4–8 weeks of submission, depending on reviewer availability.
