Peer Review Workflow
Our standard timeline from submission triage to formal acceptance and open-access DOI release. Average time to first decision: 15 days.
Technical Triage
Day 1 – 3Managing Editor checks scope, formatting guidelines, and iThenticate plagiarism (<15%).
Editor Assignment
Day 4 – 7Section Editor assigns 2–3 independent external dental referees across global institutions.
Double-Blind Review
Day 8 – 21Referees evaluate novelty, clinical relevance, methodology, and data reproducibility.
Editorial Decision
Day 22 – 28Editor-in-Chief issues formal decision (Minor/Major Revision or Acceptance) with referee notes.
DOI Publication
Day 29 – 30Copyediting, XML tagging, galley proof author sign-off, and instant CrossRef DOI indexing.
Publication Ethics
IIDR strictly complies with Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) core practices, ensuring the highest standards of integrity in dental research.
Plagiarism & Duplicate Submission Policy
Zero ToleranceEvery submission undergoes automated iThenticate screening. The overall similarity index must be strictly below 15%, with less than 1% from any single source. Simultaneous submissions to other journals will result in immediate rejection.
Conflict of Interest (COI) Disclosures
Compliance RequiredAuthors must disclose all commercial funding, dental implant manufacturer grants, patents, or consulting associations. If no conflict exists, a formal signed statement must explicitly declare: "The authors declare no competing financial interests."
Ethical Approval & Patient Informed Consent

Data Integrity & Post-Publication Corrections
FAIR GuidelinesData fabrication, falsification, and image manipulation (selective radiographic contrast alteration) constitute gross scientific misconduct. Authors must retain raw datasets and DICOM files for 5 years post-publication for editorial verification.
