The Journal of Contemporary Healthcare Analytics (JCHA) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and excellence in research. To achieve this, all manuscripts submitted to JCHA undergo a rigorous peer-review process.
Peer review is an essential component of the publication process, ensuring that published research is of high quality and meets the standards of the scientific community. All manuscripts submitted to JCHA are reviewed by at least two independent experts in the field who are selected based on their expertise, research experience, and scholarly contributions.
The peer-review process at JCHA is double-blind, which means that the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are concealed from each other. This ensures that the review process is unbiased and based solely on the scientific merit of the manuscript.
The review process at JCHA follows the following steps:
-
Initial review: All manuscripts are first reviewed by the editorial team to ensure that they meet the journal's scope and requirements.
-
Peer review: After passing the initial review, the manuscript is assigned to at least two independent experts in the field for peer review. Reviewers are asked to provide a detailed evaluation of the manuscript's scientific merit, originality, methodology, and relevance to the journal's scope.
-
Editorial decision: Based on the feedback from the reviewers, the editorial team makes a decision on the manuscript. The decision may be to accept, reject, or request revisions. Authors are given detailed feedback on the reviewer's comments and suggestions.
-
Revision: If revisions are requested, authors are given a specific timeframe to make the revisions and resubmit the manuscript.
-
Final decision: After revisions, the manuscript is reviewed again by the same reviewers, and a final decision is made by the editorial team. Once a manuscript is accepted, it undergoes copyediting, proofreading, and formatting before being published online.
