Articles are received through an online manuscript submission system. Three to five reviewers are invited for each submission. Reviewers agreeing to review the manuscript will be provided with credentials to access the reviewer space and download the submitted material. Reviewers make their comments and upload them through the online review system and are immediately forwarded to the corresponding author. Based on the reviewer’s comments, the manuscript will either be accepted after correction or rejected. Upon receipt of authors’ corrections and agreement of reviewers (at least two or three), the manuscript will be published promptly. The final formatted PDF version is posted to the PAMJ website as soon as it becomes available.
