Peer Review Process
THE EDITORIAL PROCESS
The manuscripts will be reviewed for possible publication with the understanding that they are being submitted to JPAHS and have not been published, simultaneously submitted, or already accepted for publication elsewhere.
The editors review all submitted manuscripts initially. Manuscripts with insufficient originality, serious scientific and technical flaws, ethical issues, or lack of a significant message are rejected. Or if a good article is written poorly, the author is requested to re-submit it after revision according to JPAHS format. All manuscripts received are duly acknowledged. Manuscripts are sent to two or more expert reviewers without revealing the identity of the contributors to the reviewers. Each manuscript is meticulously reviewed by the JPAHS editor based on the comments from the reviewers, and takes a final decision on the manuscript. The contributors will be informed about the reviewers' comments and the acceptance/rejection of the manuscript.
Articles accepted would be copy-edited for grammar, punctuation, print style, and format. Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author, which has to be returned within three days. Nonresponse to proof copy may delay the publication of the same article or may even get it rejected from the journal.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
Article Processing Charge
At present, JPAHS has no article processing and publication charges.
