Manuscript Review Process

H-n Publishers follows a robust and transparent manuscript review process to ensure the scholarly integrity and quality of articles published in our open access journals. The process consists of several key steps:

Submission: Authors submit their manuscripts via the journal’s online submission system, adhering to the journal’s guidelines and manuscript formatting requirements.

Editorial Assessment: Upon submission, the editorial team assesses the manuscript’s suitability for the journal, including its alignment with the journal’s scope, ethical considerations, and overall quality.

Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the initial assessment undergo rigorous peer review. The Editorial Advisory Board or assigned editors select expert reviewers with relevant subject matter expertise. Reviewers evaluate the manuscript’s methodology, validity, originality, and contribution to the field.

Editorial Decision: Based on reviewer feedback and their own assessment, editors make editorial decisions, which include acceptance, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejection. Decisions are communicated to authors with detailed feedback.

Revision and Resubmission: If revisions are required, authors are invited to revise their manuscripts accordingly. Revised manuscripts undergo further evaluation by the editorial team and reviewers.

Acceptance and Publication: Accepted manuscripts are prepared for publication, including typesetting, proofreading, and layout. Authors may be required to pay Article Processing Charges (APCs) at this stage.

Publication: Once published, articles become freely accessible through the journal’s website and are indexed in relevant databases, ensuring global visibility.

H-n Publishers is committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency, objectivity, and academic excellence in its editorial and review processes, guided by the expertise of its Editorial Advisory Boards.
