For reviewers
The criteria used by the editors to decide whether to accept a manuscript for peer review are:
- Relevance: the content is in line with the topics and objectives of the IJVS.
- Originality/ topicality: the content is relevant/ topical for publication in the IJHP.
- Quality: the study and its presentation meet general research standards.
- Ethical guidelines: national and international standards of ethical guidelines are met (if required)/an ethics vote is available.
- Formal correctness: the formal criteria of the manuscript guidelines are fulfilled.
If the criteria are met, the manuscript is assigned to an editor, who organizes the double-blind peer review. The reviewers receive the manuscript without the names and institutions of the authors.
The review period should not exceed six weeks. The decision on acceptance or rejection of a manuscript is made by e-mail with the following options:
- Accepted without revision
- Accepted with revision
- Rejected
