Review Process
IJRHNS uses an organized peer review process to assess the academic merit, relevance, novelty, and ethics of the research articles submitted for publication.
Step 1: Manuscript Submission
Manuscripts are submitted by the authors via the journal's submission system.
Step 2: Initial Editorial Screening
The editorial office checks:
- Scope and relevance.
- Originality.
- Ethical compliance.
- Methodological quality.
- Language and presentation.
- Submission requirements.
Those that fail to meet minimum standards will either be revised or rejected.
Step 3: Reviewer Selection
Those that pass the first stage of evaluation are forwarded to independent experts who are knowledgeable in the field.
Step 4: Double Blind Reviewing
In this step, the manuscript is reviewed without revealing the identity of either the reviewer or the author.
Reviewers assess:
- Scientific merit.
- Originality.
- Research significance.
- Methodological rigor.
- Ethical soundness.
- Clarity and organization.
- Contribution to the field.
Step 5: Editorial Decision
The possible decisions are:
- Accept
- Minor Revisions
- Major Revisions
- Reject
Step 6: Revision
If revision becomes necessary, then the author must be careful and deal with all the issues mentioned in the reviews.
Step 7: Evaluation
The revised paper is once again evaluated by the editor and reviewers.
Step 8: Publication
When the manuscript is finally accepted, it is then published.
The current review-process page states that, under normal circumstances, the complete peer-review process is expected to take approximately two weeks, while maintaining the journal's stated standards for scholarly review.
