Peer Review Process

Initial Internal Editorial Review

  • Any article received is first examined by chief editor or his staffs. It helps to prevent unnecessary delay in review process. Early rejection helps the author to refine their article and resubmit in IJHHS or to choose other journal. This initial review usually takes about one week. If the Submitted manuscript fits with journal’s scope and standard then we send the article for External review.

External Review

  • If any manuscript passes the ‘Initial Internal Editorial Review‘ then we send it to the peer reviewers.

Editorial Decision after external review

  • If the reviewers reject it we reject it.
  • If the reviewers give any correction/modification plan we communicate the author to redo and resubmit his manuscript. After re-submission we check whether their re-submission fulfills reviewer’s satisfaction.
  • If all these steps are successfully completed then we send it for publication.
  • We have additional statistical reviewers. We use their expertise if the manuscript deserves their review.
  • At least two reviewers per article is assigned by the journal authority.
  • Duration of review process: Review process takes around two weeks to three months time.
  • All the process is double blind author never knows the reviewers and vice versa.

The International Journal of Human and Health Sciences is published four monthly in the months of January, April, July and October.

 

Open Access Policy
