Review Procedure

The International Journal of Health Sciences and Engineering (IJHSE) upholds rigorous standards through a peer review process to ensure the publication of high-quality research that contributes to the advancement of health sciences and engineering. Peer review, where experts in the field evaluate the validity, quality, and relevance of scientific work, is a cornerstone of scholarly publishing.

Upon receiving a new manuscript, the editorial office conducts a thorough assessment based on several key criteria to determine its suitability for publication. These include authenticity, completeness, ethical approval, correct formatting, originality, innovation, relevance to the field, alignment with the journal's scope, adherence to scientific writing conventions, and language proficiency. Manuscripts that meet these criteria are considered for publication, while those that do not may be rejected.

IJHSE follows a double-blind peer review system, ensuring that both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. Reviewers assess manuscripts based on predefined criteria such as originality, significance, methodology, clarity, relevance to global issues, and scientific merit. Their feedback is shared confidentially with the authors, facilitating constructive dialogue and potential improvements.

Once all reviews are collected, the Editor(s)-in-Chief review the manuscript in light of the reviewers’ comments. If accepted, authors will receive guidance on final formatting requirements for publication. Manuscripts requiring revisions must address the feedback provided and meet the journal's formatting standards before resubmission. If a manuscript is rejected, the review process is concluded.

At IJHSE, the peer review process is a fundamental part of ensuring scholarly excellence and advancing knowledge across health sciences and engineering fields.
