Peer Review Proccess

IHSJ: Indonesian Health Science Journal

IHSJ: Indonesian Health Science Journal applies a double-blind peer review process. Every submitted manuscript first undergoes editorial screening to assess its relevance to the journal’s focus and scope, compliance with the Author Guidelines, publication ethics, and similarity checking. Manuscripts that meet the requirements are sent to at least two independent reviewers with appropriate expertise and no conflicts of interest. Reviewers assess the originality, novelty, methodology, analysis, results, discussion, references, and ethical aspects of the research and are required to maintain the confidentiality of the manuscript. If there is a significant disagreement between reviewers, the editor may appoint a third reviewer. Based on the review results and editorial considerations, the manuscript may receive one of the following decisions: Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject. Reviewers provide recommendations, while the final decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief or designated editor. Manuscripts requiring revision may be returned to the authors and, when necessary, undergo another round of review. IHSJ is committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, objective, independent, and confidential peer review process.
