Peer Review Process
All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Health Matters (JoHM) undergo a double-blind peer review process. Both authors and reviewers remain anonymous during the review to ensure objectivity.
The review process consists of the following steps:
-
Initial Screening – The editorial team evaluates the manuscript for scope, formatting, and plagiarism check (similarity index <25%).
-
Peer Review – Suitable manuscripts are sent to at least two independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant field.
-
Review Decision – Based on reviewers’ comments, the editor may decide:
-
Accept without revision
-
Accept with minor revisions
-
Require major revisions for resubmission
-
Reject
-
-
Revision and Resubmission – Authors must revise their manuscripts according to reviewers’ and editors’ feedback.
-
Final Decision – The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision after revisions are reviewed.
The JoHM is committed to a fair, transparent, and timely review process, aiming to provide authors with constructive feedback to improve their manuscripts.
