Editorial Board
Editorial Decisions and Interactions with Authors
1.1 Editorial Decisions: The WAIMM Journal editorial board commits to upholding strict quality standards and criteria, as set forth in the WAIMM Journal ethics and compliance guidelines, for all manuscripts submitted by authors. Manuscripts that meet these criteria will be accepted, while those that do not meet the criteria will be rejected. Editors and reviewers will perform thorough checks and reviews on submitted manuscripts and editorial decisions will be based primarily on the value and validity of the work presented. Editorial decisions on acceptance or rejection will be made by the assigned editors and chief editor, and such decisions will be preceded by a careful consideration of the reviewers’ feedback as well as their own assessment of the manuscript. Editorial decisions will be communicated to the respective author in a formal letter and will be accompanied by the reviewers’ feedback as well as any other stipulations from the office of the WAIMM Journal.
1.2 Interactions with Authors: The assigned editors and chief editor will interact with and encourage authors to submit manuscripts and will set up a reputable panel of expert reviewers. The assigned editors will also be responsible for providing constructive feedback to reviewers when required, as well as to authors. The editors’ interactions with authors may include, inter alia, responding to queries from authors and providing editorial decisions of acceptance or rejection to the authors.
