Guidelines

MJHSS highly appreciates your kind support by agreeing to review an article for our journal. Before you consent to evaluate any paper, you are requested to consider a number of points.

  • If the paper is not in your area of research interest and expertise, please inform the editor and feel free to refuse to review it.
  • If you have no free time to evaluate the paper before the deadline, kindly inform the editor.
  • You are kindly requested to provide a detailed and thorough report concerning the manuscript under review based on the guidelines below.

Conflicts of Interests

When manuscripts are assigned to reviewers for peer-reviews, reviewers must disclose to editors or managing editors any conflicts of interest that could bias their reviews of the manuscript.

Writing Your Review Report

Reviewers are welcome to write detailed review reports based on the previous guidelines. The review report is vital in helping the editors to make final decisions. Review reports should be specific enough for authors to respond, including the critiques of the quality of the data, the level of support for the conclusion, figures and tables, etc. (referring to lines if specific enough).

Recommendations

Recommendations are provided as follows:

Accept Submission: The paper is accepted without any changes

Minor Revision: The paper is in principle accepted after revision based on the reviewer’s comments. Authors are given one week for minor revisions.

Major Revision: The acceptance of the manuscript would depend on the revisions. The author needs to provide a point by point response or provide a rebuttal if some of the reviewer’s comments cannot be revised. Usually, only one round of major revisions is allowed. Authors will be asked to resubmit the revised paper within three weeks and the revised version will be returned to the reviewers for further comments.

Decline: The article has serious flaws, makes no original contribution, and the paper is rejected with no offer of resubmission to the journal.
