Peer Review Process

The peer review process at the Journal of Health Literacy and QUalitative Research is meticulously crafted to uphold the excellence and trustworthiness of the scholarly content we publish. Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial assessment by at least one qualified reviewer. This evaluation is conducted through a blinded review, ensuring impartiality.

Reviewers meticulously analyze the manuscript for methodological robustness, clarity, and the significance of its findings. They offer constructive feedback and suggestions for enhancement. The acceptance of a manuscript hinges on the thorough evaluation and insightful recommendations provided by the reviewers.

In line with our commitment to academic integrity, our journal utilizes Turnitin to screen for any instances of plagiarism within the submitted manuscripts. This tool aids in identifying and addressing potential issues of plagiarism, thereby safeguarding the originality and credibility of the research.

Subsequent to the reviewers' assessments, the manuscript undergoes a final deliberation by the Editorial Board. The Board makes the ultimate decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection, considering the reviewers' feedback, the manuscript's alignment with the journal's scope, and its overall quality. Accepted manuscripts are then prepared for publication.
