Editorial Review and Acceptance

The Global Journal of Multidisciplinary Health Research (GJMHR) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of editorial review to ensure the quality, integrity, and impact of the research we publish. Our editorial review process adheres to the guidelines provided by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to promote ethical and transparent publishing practices. The following guidelines outline our editorial review policy:

a) Editorial Independence: The GJMHR editorial team operates independently, free from any undue influence or interference, including those from the journal's publisher or any external parties. The editorial decisions are based solely on the scientific merit, validity, and relevance of the submitted manuscripts.

d) Confidentiality: Reviewers are required to maintain the confidentiality of the manuscripts they review. They must not disclose, share, or use the information obtained through the review process for personal gain or unauthorized purposes.

e) Objective and Constructive Feedback: Reviewers are expected to provide unbiased, objective, and constructive feedback on the manuscripts they review. They should identify strengths and weaknesses, offer suggestions for improvement, and comment on the scientific validity, methodology, data analysis, and ethical considerations of the research.

f) Editorial Decision-making: The editorial team, based on the reviewers' feedback, evaluates the manuscripts and makes informed decisions regarding their acceptance, revision, or rejection. The final decision is communicated to the authors along with reviewers' comments, ensuring transparency and accountability in the decision-making process.
