Transparent Peer Review Process
We believe in transparency. Here's exactly what happens after you submit your antimicrobial resistance research, with realistic timelines you can count on.
Initial Screening
Our editorial team reviews your manuscript for scope alignment, completeness, and adherence to submission guidelines. Plagiarism check performed using iThenticate.
3 daysEditor Assignment
A handling editor with expertise in your specific research area (antimicrobial resistance, bacterial genetics, microbial physiology) is assigned to manage your manuscript.
2 daysPeer Review
Your manuscript is sent to 2-3 expert reviewers specializing in microbiology and antimicrobial resistance. Reviewers evaluate methodology, significance, and contribution to the field.
21 daysEditorial Decision
Based on reviewer feedback, the editor makes a decision: Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, or Reject. You receive detailed reviewer comments and actionable feedback.
28 days totalRevision & Re-review
If revisions are requested, you submit your revised manuscript with a point-by-point response to reviewers. Re-review focuses on how well you addressed the concerns.
14 daysAcceptance & Production
Once accepted, your manuscript enters production: copyediting, typesetting, and final proofing. You review galley proofs before publication.
10 daysPublication & Indexing
Your article is published online with a DOI, immediately accessible worldwide. Your research gains worldwide visibility through indexing in Google Scholar, connecting it with the global scientific community.
