Since 1970, Revista Médica de Chile applies the peer review system as a main step in the selection and improvement of the manuscripts to be published. Over 150 experts participate in this process annually, reviewing up to 5 manuscripts per year. The final decision with regards to to the acceptability of a manuscript remains a responsibility of the Editor. The reviewers are selected by the Editor and his Associates among clinical investigators, prominent subspecialits and basic scientists, according to the nature of the manuscript. Most of them work in Chile. Their names are published and their confidential work is acknowledged in a special chronicle published in the Revista once a year. A small number of these reviewers appears in every issue of the journal identified as Members of its Editorial Advisory Committee. They have been selected by the Editors among those reviewers who deal with a greater number of manuscripts and also those experienced specialists whose opinion is requested when an exceptional conflict of opinions is raised by the authors and their reviewers. After 5 to 10 years of a highly praised collaboration, the previous Committee has been changed and new names were included, starting in this issue of Revista Médica de Chile.
自1970年以来，《智利医学杂志》将同行评审系统作为稿件筛选和完善过程中的主要环节，这些稿件将在该杂志上发表。每年有150多名专家参与这一过程，每人每年评审多达5篇稿件。稿件是否被录用的最终决定权仍由编辑负责。编辑及其助手根据稿件的性质，从临床研究人员、知名亚专科专家和基础科学家当中挑选评审人员。他们大多在智利工作。他们的名字会被公布，并且他们的保密工作会在每年在《智利医学杂志》上发表的一篇特别纪事文章中得到认可。少数评审人员会在该杂志的每期上出现，并被认定为其编辑咨询委员会成员。这些成员是编辑从那些处理稿件数量较多的评审人员以及在作者与评审人员之间出现特殊意见冲突时被征求意见的经验丰富的专家当中挑选出来的。经过5到10年备受赞誉的合作之后，之前的委员会进行了换届，从本期《智利医学杂志》开始纳入了新成员。
