To maintain the highest standards of academic quality, all submissions to the journal undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. This process ensures an objective, fair, and transparent evaluation of every manuscript by qualified experts in the relevant field.

Each manuscript is initially screened by the Editorial Team to assess its relevance to the journal's scope, adherence to author guidelines, and basic academic merit. Submissions that meet these criteria are forwarded to two to three independent reviewers for comprehensive evaluation.

The journal applies a double-blind review system, meaning both author and reviewer identities are kept confidential to prevent any potential bias. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise and familiarity with the subject matter.

Key assessment criteria include:

• Relevance and clarity of the title and abstract
• Quality of background and literature review
• Appropriateness of research design and ethical compliance
• Accuracy and interpretation of findings
• Originality, theoretical contribution, and scholarly significance
• Coherence of discussion, conclusions, and implications
• Academic writing, structure, and use of references

Reviewers are expected to provide constructive, respectful, and specific feedback, offering clear recommendations for improvement while upholding ethical standards and confidentiality.

Upon completion of the review, the Editorial Board deliberates based on reviewers’ reports and the manuscript's overall quality. A final decision—whether to accept, request minor or major revisions, or reject—is made by the Editor-in-Chief in coordination with the Board.

To further safeguard academic integrity, all manuscripts are checked for plagiarism using Turnitin or equivalent software prior to acceptance.

Accepted manuscripts proceed to the post-review phase, including professional editing, layout, and proofreading. Authors will have the opportunity to approve the final version before publication. Through this process, we aim to foster scholarly excellence and contribute to the global body of knowledge in health promotion.
