Manuscript Processing Timeline:

To ensure both efficiency and academic rigor, the journal follows a streamlined three-stage review process with clearly defined timeframes:


1. Initial Editorial Screening:

Within 3 business days of submission, the Editorial Office assesses the manuscript for scope, formatting, and scholarly quality. Only submissions that meet the journal’s standards advance to peer review.

2. Peer Review:

Each manuscript is evaluated by two independent expert reviewers in a double-blind process. This stage is completed within a maximum of 15 days from assignment.

3. Final Decision and Online Publication:

Based on reviewer feedback, the Editor-in-Chief issues a final decision. Accepted articles—once revised (if needed) and approved—are published online on the journal’s website within 30 days of the original submission date.


The Azerbaijan Medical Journal is committed to providing authors with a transparent, timely, and high-quality publication experience in the field of medical sciences.
