Peer Review Process

The peer review process at the Journal of Public Health and Pharmacy is designed to uphold the quality and integrity of the scholarly work we publish. Each article submitted to the journal undergoes a rigorous double-blind review process, ensuring impartial evaluation by qualified experts.

Review Process:

  1. Initial Review: Upon submission, the article is initially reviewed by at least one qualified reviewer. The process is conducted in a blind manner, where both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other.
  2. Assessment: Reviewers evaluate the manuscript for methodological rigor, clarity, and significance of the findings. They provide constructive feedback and recommendations for improvement.
  3. Decision Making: Based on the reviewers' feedback, the article is discussed in a concluding meeting of the Editorial Board. The Board makes the final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection of the article, considering the reviewers' suggestions, alignment with the journal's scope, and overall quality.

Plagiarism Screening: To maintain academic integrity, the journal employs Turnitin to screen for plagiarism in all submitted articles. This tool helps identify and address any instances of plagiarism, ensuring the originality and authenticity of the work.

Publication: Accepted articles are then prepared for publication, reflecting our commitment to disseminating valuable and original contributions to the fields of public health and pharmacy.
