The Journal of Modern Research Physics is committed to maintaining the independence, impartiality, and integrity of its peer review and editorial decision-making processes and therefore avoids excessive concentration of articles authored by individuals affiliated with the journal.
In the two most recent issues of the journal, articles in which at least one author is the Editor-in-Chief, an Editorial Board member, or a reviewer of the journal must not account for more than 25% of the total research articles published.
Manuscripts authored by the Editor-in-Chief, Editorial Board members, or reviewers are subject to an independent double-blind peer review process. Individuals with a potential conflict of interest are excluded from the peer review and final decision-making process concerning their own manuscripts.
This policy is implemented to prevent conflicts of interest, maintain the independence of the peer review process, and uphold professional standards of scholarly publishing.
