Editorial Policies

1. Peer Review Policy

The Peer review policy of International Journal of Health And  Dentistry Care (IJHDC) is the system used to assess the quality of a manuscript before it is published. Independent researchers in the relevant research area assess submitted manuscripts for originality, validity and significance to help editors determine whether a manuscript should be published in  IJHDC.

The peer review process can be broadly summarized into following steps, although these steps can vary slightly between journals.

1. Submission of Research Article/ Research Paper/ Review Article/ Review Paper/ Case Report

The corresponding or submitting author submits the Manuscript to the IJHDC.

This is usually via an online submission and editor mail id:  editor@ijhdc.com  such as Scholar-One Manuscripts.

Occasionally, IJHDC may accept submissions by E-mail: editor@ijhdc.com // info@ijhdc.com // editorijhdc@gmail.com

Reviewers should be experts in their fields and should be able to provide an objective assessment of the manuscript.

Our policy is that reviewers should not be assigned to a Article and Case Report if:

1. The reviewer is based at the same institution as any of the co-authors.

2. The reviewer is based at the funding body of the Article .

3. The author has recommended the reviewer.

4. The reviewer has provided a personal (e.g. Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail) email account and an institutional email account cannot be found after performing a basic Google search (Name, Department and Institution).
