Peer Review Policy

The Yashfeen Journal of Health Innovation and Practice (YJHIP) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles, reviews, and case reports in the field of health innovation and practice. The peer review process is an essential part of ensuring the quality and rigor of the journal's publications.

The YJHIP peer review process is double-blind, which means that the authors and reviewers are not aware of each other's identities. This helps to ensure that the review process is fair and impartial.

Each manuscript is initially reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor. If the manuscript is considered to be of sufficient quality, it is then sent to two or more independent reviewers for further review. The reviewers are experts in the field of health innovation and practice and are selected based on their expertise and track record of publishing in peer-reviewed journals.

The reviewers are asked to provide an assessment of the manuscript's originality, significance, methodology, and writing style. They are also asked to make recommendations for revisions, if any.

The Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision on whether to accept, reject, or revise a manuscript. The decision is based on the reviewers' reports, as well as the Editor-in-Chief's own assessment of the manuscript.

The YJHIP peer review process is designed to ensure that the journal publishes high-quality research that makes a significant contribution to the field of health innovation and practice.
