Peer Review Process

Journal Focus Action of Research Mathematic (Factor M) is a scientific publication in the sense that the only scientific merits are accepted manuscripts that have never been published. The review process involves the author, editor, section editor, and reviewer. The editor first checks every submitted manuscript if the article meets the focus, scope, guidelines for authors, and the similarity check (should be below 25% in total).

The manuscript is continued to the reviewer to review the content of the manuscript. Otherwise, the manuscript will be returned to the author if not meet the criteria above. Each manuscript will at least be examined by two reviewers (double-blind review), hopefully in 20 - 60 days.

Editors will decide on article acceptance according to Reviewers' comments. The articles sent back to the authors for revision should be returned to the editor immediately. The revised article returned later than 20 days will be considered a new submission. The revised article can be sent to the editorial through the Online Submission Interface.

Review Process:

1. Editor receiving manuscript from author;
2. Editor evaluates manuscript (journal aim and scope, in-house style, supplementary data); (Rejected if not meet criteria)
3. Editor screening for plagiarism on offline and online databases (Turnitin or Crossref Similarity Check by iThenticate application); (Rejected if found major plagiarism, contacted author if found redundancy or minor plagiarism for clarification)
4. Editor sends manuscript to reviewer along with review form (double blind review, Both reviewer and author remain anonymous to each other);
5. Reviewer sends back his review form to Editor (with revised manuscript if necessary);
6. Editor decision (rejected, require major revision, need minor revision, or accepted);
7. Confirmation to the Author.
8. If revision, the author revised manuscripts and should be returned to the editor without delay. Returned later than three months will be considered as new submissions.
