Peer Review

Peer Review Policy

IJPHR follows a double-blind peer-review process.

Submitted manuscripts first undergo editorial screening for relevance to the journal's scope, basic scientific quality, ethical compliance and suitability for peer review.

Manuscripts proceeding beyond initial screening are evaluated by appropriately qualified reviewers. Reviewers assess originality, scientific validity, methodology, analysis, interpretation, ethical compliance, reporting quality and contribution to the literature.

Possible editorial decisions include acceptance, minor revision, major revision or rejection.

Revised manuscripts may undergo additional review when necessary. The final publication decision is made by the responsible academic editor.

Reviewers must maintain manuscript confidentiality and disclose relevant conflicts of interest.
