The Review Process
A manuscript is submitted for publication at http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/. The Editor-in-Chief checks the manuscript for proper format and conformance with submission instructions and acknowledges receipt.
The manuscript is then assigned to the appropriate Editorial Board that select 3 or more qualified reviewers. Notification is sent by email to each reviewer who is asked to confirm his or her willingness to perform the review in a timely manner (within Two weeks if possible). The review process is double blind i.e. no information about the authors will be provided to the reviewers and vice versa. The Feyz Coordinator is given tracks the review process to make sure that it moves ahead as rapidly as possible.

When the Editor-in-Chief is satisfied that the manuscript meets the Feyz quality standards the manuscript will be published. A footer will be added to each page of the manuscript stating the volume number and the official name of the Feyz (Journal of Medical Education Development).
