Editorial Policy

The Journal of University College of Medicine and Dentistry operates with full editorial independence. Editorial decisions are based solely on the scientific merit, originality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and relevance of submitted manuscripts.

All submissions undergo editorial triage and internal editorial assessment prior to double-blind peer review. Reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other throughout the review process. Final decisions regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection rest with the editorial team.

JUCMD is committed to safeguarding the integrity of the scholarly record. Any concerns related to research ethics, conflicts of interest, or publication integrity are addressed in accordance with COPE guidelines.

Editorial decisions are communicated transparently and are not influenced by authors’ institutional affiliation, nationality, or funding status.
