AUSMT kindly requests our valued researchers to read carefully below policies before submitting your proposal.

To maintain AUSMT standard peer-review protocols, and ensure the highest quality of control. For that reason, the journal's policy requires the reviewing process remain entirely centralized within our Editorial Board. 

  • Editorial Board will carefully review proper submitted, potential proposals and contact the Guest Editors via provided institutional emails.
  • The Editor-in-Chief (EIC) and Co-Editor-in-Chief (Co-EIC) will assign AUSMT Associate Editors (AEs) to manage the review process for the Special Issue proposals.
  • The AEs will mainly assign the reviewers for the articles in the Special Issue.
  • The Guest Editors (GEs), can recommend the reviewers from their communities, but as aforementioned, AEs will be responsible for assigning the reviewers and processing the manuscripts.
  • AUSMT will not grant any GEs access to involve in manuscript handling system. The AEs may appoint GEs or recommended reviewers from GEs to process some articles in the SI, based on their expert domains.
  • The assigned GEs from AEs (for some specific articles) will stay involved in the their reviewing process as usual. 
  • GEs, even not directly involve in the peer-review process, they will be formally recognized as the primary contributors and intellectual leads of the SI.
