All manuscripts are subject to a strict peer-review process (double-blind peer review, as the journal, would ensure the double-blind peer review process) involving members of the editorial board and external reviewers with expertise in the subject matter. The process starts with an initial review by the Editor-In-Chief or Co-Editor-In-Chief who makes an initial assessment of suitability for Microbes and Infectious Diseases Journal. If the manuscript is deemed of interest, it is then assigned to a member of the editorial board who serves as the principal reviewing editor. The reviewing editor invites external reviewers (a minimum of two independent expert reviewers) who are blinded to the manuscript author(s) to further assess the manuscript, recommend any revisions, and offer their opinion on acceptability. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The duration for final decision is 3-5 weeks. We encourage a systematic approach to manuscript review and provide reviewers with the "COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers" (see:https://publicationethics.org/resources/ guidelines-new / cope-ethical-guidelines-peer-reviewers).
