Peer Review Process

The suitability of manuscripts for publication in Nutrition and Health Research Journal is judged by peer reviewers and the editorial board. All the review processes are conducted in a blind review. The Technical Editor handles all correspondence with the author. The Chief Editor and Section Editors make the final decision as to whether the paper is recommended for acceptance, rejection, or needs to be returned to the author for revision. 

Chief Editor and Technical Editors will evaluate the submitted papers on a prequalification step for suitability of further review process. The manuscripts will be evaluated by one or two reviewers selected by Chief Editor and Technical Editors. The peer reviewers should examine the manuscript and return it with their recommendation to the Chief Editor or Technical Editors as soon as possible, usually within 3 weeks. If one of the peer reviewers recommends rejection, the Chief Editor will ask a third reviewer or Technical Editors to decide the acceptance or rejection of the paper. 

Papers needing revision will be returned to the authors, and the author must return the revised manuscript to the Technical Editor via OJS of Nutrition and Health Research Journal. Technical Editors check whether the manuscript is revised as suggested by peer reviewers. Technical Editors could give recommendations to Chief Editor that the manuscript should return to authors, accept, or reject within 2 weeks. After acceptance by Technical Editors, manuscript is forwarded to the layout editor to be layout for the editorial board meeting. Chief Editor would send an acceptance letter announcing the publication issue attached with manuscript reprint to authors.

There are three steps of the revision process by authors: 1) revision manuscript to accommodate peer reviewer suggestions within 2-4 weeks; 2) revision to accommodate Technical Editors suggestions within 2-4 weeks (if any), and 3) revision to accommodate editorial meeting suggestions within 1 week (if any). Manuscripts that exceed the revision deadline will be withdrawn. Authors may request for an extension to Chief Editor before the revision expires. The time interval from the date the manuscript is submitted to the acceptance for publication varies, depending on the time required for review and revision.
