Peer Review

  • JAHM employs a double-blind peer review system.

  • Each manuscript is reviewed by independent experts.

  • Reviewers are selected for subject expertise and absence of conflicts of interest.

  • Average review timeline: 2–8 weeks.

  • Editors ensure balanced, unbiased, and timely decisions.

  • Manuscripts authored by editors or board members are handled by independent reviewers with no editorial involvement.

After submission, editors will invite suitable reviewers by emailing them the title and abstract, along with an invitation to log in to the journal’s website to complete the review process. The journal's online system allows reviewers to submit the reviewed files online. A three-day period is given for reviewers to accept or decline the invitation. Upon accepting the assignment, reviewers can download the blinded manuscript, submit their comments using the JAHM review template, and select their recommendation online.

Peer reviewers have 7-15 days to complete this process. Upon request from reviewers, this can be extended up to 30 days. JAHM aims to publish peer-reviewed manuscripts within 2 -8 weeks of initial receipt, provided all review and revision requirements are fulfilled in time.

✅ Guidelines for Reviewers

All selected reviewers must adhere to the guidelines set by the JAHM Editorial Board:

  1. Reviewers must critically evaluate the assigned paper within the specified timeframe.
  2. Reviewers must follow the double-blind international refereeing process to ensure an unbiased and quality review.
  3. All feedback must be provided in written form using the official JAHM Review Template.
  4. Reviewers should clearly highlight sections of the manuscript that require revision or improvement; their expert suggestions should add value to the work.
  5. Even if a manuscript is deemed suitable for publication, constructive critical comments should be given to help improve its overall quality.
  6. Once revisions are made by the authors, the same reviewer will be asked to review the revised version to ensure suggested changes have been addressed.
  7. Reviewers must maintain the original formatting and style of the manuscript, following the official JAHM templates.
  8. The Editorial Board reserves the right to override reviewer suggestions when necessary; the final decision of the Editors is binding.
