Peer Review Process
International Journal of Health, Economics, and Social Sciences (IJHESS) will publish the only paper strictly following IJHESS guidelines and manuscript preparation. Those papers are read by editorial members (upon the field of specialization) and will be screened by Associate Editor to meet the necessary criteria of IJHESS publication. Manuscripts will be sent to two peer-reviewers based on their historical experience in reviewing manuscripts or based on their field of specialization. IJHESS has reviewing forms in order to keep the same items reviewed by two reviewers. Then the editorial board will make a decision upon the reviewer's comments or advice. Reviewers will give their assessment on originality, clarity of presentation, contribution to the field/science, IJHESS has three kinds of decisions:
