- All submitted articles are evaluated at the submission to meet the structural and subject principles of Health Education and Health Promotion.
- The matched articles will go under a double-blinded peer-review process by at least three reviewers (experts in the field who are not part of the journal’s editorial staff) selected by the Editorial Board members according to their field specialties.
- The Editorial Board members have the final responsibility to select the articles.
Duties of Reviewers
- Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and, through the editorial communications with the author, may also assist the author in improving the paper.
- Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse from the review process.
- Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
- Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
- Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper they know personally.
- Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts with conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
