Review Process
Full length articles (Clinical Studies and Basic Science papers), Technics and innovations, Review Articles and Case Studies are peer-reviewed. The Chief Editor is the first-look editor for all manuscripts, evaluating text and general submission format. The Chief Editor makes sure all manuscripts meet Egy Spine J’s guidelines as prescribed in these author instructions. Once a manuscript has been initially evaluated, the Chief Editor will assign a set of at least three appropriately chosen peer reviewers to evaluate and make comments on the manuscript. The invited reviewers are knowledgeable about the field of study being discussed, and as such can comment on the research and any subsequent conclusion made. The editorial board of The Egy Spine J guarantees that there will be an initial response for the authors within six weeks from the date of manuscript submission. For all manuscripts The Egy Spine J is a double-blind journal. Great care is taken not to reveal the identity of the reviewers or the author(s). The Editor-in-Chief has final say about the fate of all manuscripts. If the editors feel the manuscript could be eligible for publication following author revision, the submission will be sent back to the corresponding author. The corresponding author should consider making any changes suggested by the reviewers and editors and return the research back to the editorial office. The Chief Editor will again send the manuscript out for a second round of reviews.
