Peer Review Process of Journal of AI-Powered Medical Innovations:
- Manuscript Submission: Authors submit their manuscripts through the journal's online submission system, ensuring that the content aligns with the journal’s scope on AI-powered innovations in medicine.
- Initial Screening: The editorial team performs an initial review to verify the manuscript's adherence to submission guidelines, relevance to the journal's focus, and the novelty of the research. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria are desk-rejected at this stage.
- Assignment to Associate Editor: If the manuscript passes the initial screening, it is assigned to an associate editor with expertise in the subject area.
