Reviewer Pool

Peer Review Community
Reviewer Pool

Horizon of Public Health Sciences (HoPHS) maintains a reviewer pool of scholars who may be invited to provide independent, confidential, and constructive peer review according to manuscript subject, methodological requirements, availability, and absence of relevant conflicts of interest.

Reviewer-pool transparency: inclusion on this page identifies a scholar who may support the HoPHS peer-review process. It does not disclose or imply that the person reviewed any particular manuscript, participated in every issue, or holds editorial decision-making authority. Manuscript-specific reviewer assignments remain confidential under the journal's double-blind peer-review policy.
Reviewer Responsibilities
Independent, confidential, and evidence-based review
Confidentiality Manuscripts, data, correspondence, and review reports must be treated as confidential.
Impartiality Reviews should be objective, evidence-based, respectful, and free from personal bias.
Conflict Disclosure Reviewers must disclose relevant conflicts and decline assignments when impartial review is not possible.

Scientific Coverage
Reviewer selection follows manuscript-specific expertise

Reviewer invitations are matched to the scientific and methodological requirements of manuscripts across the HoPHS scope. The journal's principal scientific domains are:

Population Health & Epidemiology Environmental & Occupational Health Health Systems, Policy & Economics Health Promotion & Community Health Nutrition & Life-Course Health Global Health, Equity & Resilience
Reviewer Selection
Pool membership does not guarantee assignment
Subject Expertise
Expertise should match the manuscript's central research question and public-health domain.
Methodological Fit
Where required, reviewers are selected for relevant methodological or analytical competence.
Independence
Reviewers should be sufficiently independent from the authors, institutions, research, and editorial decision.
Conflict-of-Interest Assessment
Relevant personal, institutional, collaborative, professional, or financial conflicts must be disclosed.
Availability
An invitation is issued only when a suitable reviewer is available for the required review period.
Dual Roles & Independence
Editorial-board membership does not override reviewer independence

A scholar may appear in both the HoPHS Editorial Board and Reviewer Pool where appropriate. When such a person is invited as a reviewer, the same confidentiality, conflict-of-interest, independence, and manuscript-specific suitability requirements apply. Reviewer recommendations remain advisory; final editorial decisions are made by the authorised editor.

HoPHS Peer Review
Expertise informs review. Independence protects it.

Reviewer information should be reviewed periodically and updated when institutional affiliations, availability, expertise, or participation status changes. Listing on this page does not disclose manuscript-specific review history.
