Peer Review Process in the Journal of Public Health and Health Administration

The peer review process in the Journal of Public Health and Health Administration is designed to ensure that every manuscript published meets the standards of quality and scientific ethics. The following are the stages of the peer review process :

1. Manuscript Submission 
   Authors submit their manuscripts through the online submission system of the Journal of Public Health and Health Administration.
   The editor conducts an initial evaluation to ensure that the manuscript aligns with the journal's focus and scope, and adheres to the submission guidelines.

2. Initial Editor Assessment
   Manuscripts that pass the initial evaluation will proceed to the peer review process. If the manuscript does not meet the journal's scope or basic standards, the editor may reject the manuscript at this stage. 

   The editor also checks for potential plagiarism using anti-plagiarism software.

3. Peer Review Process
   The Journal of Public Health and Health Administration utilizes a double-blind review process, where the identities of both the authors and reviewers are kept confidential.
   The editor appoints at least two reviewers with expertise in the relevant field to evaluate the manuscript. Reviewers assess the scientific quality, originality, methodology, and the manuscript's contribution to existing knowledge.

4. Reviewer Decision

   After reviewing the manuscript, the reviewers provide one of the following recommendations:

   - Accepted without revision

   - Accepted with minor revisions

   - Accepted with major revisions

   - Rejected

   - Reviewers provide constructive comments and suggestions to help the authors improve the manuscript.

   5. Manuscript Revision
   If revisions are required, the authors are given the opportunity to revise the manuscript according to the reviewers' suggestions.
   The revised manuscript is then resubmitted to the editor and, if necessary, may undergo further review by the reviewers.

   6. Final Editor Decision
   The editor makes the final decision based on the reviewers' recommendations on whether the manuscript will be accepted, require further revisions, or be rejected.
    The final decision and feedback from the reviewers are communicated to the authors.

   7. Publication

   Accepted manuscripts will undergo final editing and be scheduled for publication in the appropriate journal issue.
   Authors will be notified of the publication schedule.
