Complaints and appeals

How to appeal a decision or make a complaint.

Authors may appeal an editorial decision if they believe it was based on a factual error or a misunderstanding. Write to the journal's editor with the manuscript number and the reasons for the appeal. Appeals are considered by an editor who was not involved in the original decision.

Complaints about the conduct of an editor, reviewer or the platform can be sent to contact@mjournals.org. We acknowledge every complaint and reply with the outcome.
