IJEHS Publication Process
The process of publishing with IJEHS entails the following:
Reception of manuscript: Email Address: ijehs@writersbureau.net
Acknowledgement: Once the manuscript has been submitted, the journal’s editor or editorial staff will acknowledge receipt with an e-mail.
First reading: IJEHS conducts an in-house review to determine if the manuscript fits the journal demands. Once in-house review is done, IJEHS sends an e-mail to indicate that the manuscript has been sent out for review (peer review). If the journal rejects your manuscript on an in-house reading, the editor will inform you of the decision and may offer an explanation for the rejection. If the rejection letter offers suggestions for improving the manuscript, consider the advice carefully. Your feelings may be hurt, but incorporating the counsel may enable you to place your manuscript elsewhere.
Referees: The editor will send your manuscript to two (2) referees. Editors select referees on the basis of the manuscript’s subject matter and the needs of the journal. With IJEHS, the refereeing process takes 7 days. Review of manuscripts is a double-blind process. The author does not know who reviewed the manuscript, and the referees do not know who wrote the article.
Feedback from the referees: Referees advise the editor whether the manuscript is suitable for publication, with major or minor revisions, or unsuitable for publication. No matter the determination, referees are expected to provide commentary on the manuscript. Referees are chosen because they are familiar with the subject area and anxious to see good scholarship published. Their comments can provide helpful guidelines to improving your work. As an author, it may be difficult to accept the criticisms offered on a manuscript you viewed as exceptional.
Revisions: Once the work has been refereed, the Journal takes up the recommended revisions. Most manuscripts that are accepted for publication require some revision. If IJEHS deem a particular revision is not needed, the decision may be explained to the editor when re-submitting the revised article.
Images, Figures, and Tables: If the manuscript being submitted has Figures or Tables (images) for publication, IJEHS checks for permissions to publish and provide captions and attributions. Otherwise try to minimize the use of images from external sources.
