In a double blind peer review process, both the reviewer and the author remain anonymous to each other throughout the entire evaluation.
This approach eliminates potential biases that may arise from the identity, affiliation, or reputation of the author, ensuring that each manuscript is evaluated purely on its academic merit, originality, and scholarly contribution.
JHIAI is committed to upholding this standard as a cornerstone of fair and credible academic publishing.
Submission of Paper
Authors submit their manuscripts through the journal's online submission system. Submissions must follow the journal's Author Guidelines and formatting requirements.
Initial Editorial Assessment
The editorial office evaluates alignment with the journal's focus, scope, structure, and formatting. The manuscript may also be screened for plagiarism using similarity detection software.
Evaluation by the Editor-in-Chief
The Editor-in-Chief assesses originality, academic contribution, clarity, and relevance. Manuscripts that do not meet minimum standards may be rejected without further review.
Reviewer Assignment
The handling editor assigns the manuscript to at least two qualified reviewers. A double-blind system is applied — both authors and reviewers remain anonymous to ensure impartiality.
Reviewer Response to Invitation
Invited reviewers evaluate the request based on expertise, availability, and absence of conflicts of interest. If declined, alternative reviewers are invited.
Peer Review Process
Reviewers assess theoretical contribution, methodology, data analysis, originality, and clarity. They recommend one of: accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject.
Editorial Decision
The Editor-in-Chief and handling editor weigh all reviewer comments. If opinions differ significantly, an additional reviewer may be consulted for a balanced evaluation.
Communication of Decision
The editorial office notifies the corresponding author with anonymized reviewer comments. Authors are expected to respond to each comment and revise accordingly.
Final Processing and Publication
Accepted manuscripts proceed to copy-editing and layout formatting. Once finalized, the article is published online and made available to readers in full-text format.
Confidentiality
Reviewers must treat all manuscripts as confidential documents and must not share, discuss, or disclose their content with any third party.
Objectivity
Reviews must be conducted objectively and professionally. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Feedback should be clear, constructive, and well-reasoned.
Conflict of Interest
Reviewers must immediately notify the editor if they recognize the author's identity or have any conflict of interest, and must decline to review the manuscript in such cases.
Timeliness
Reviewers are expected to respond to review requests promptly and to complete their evaluations within the agreed timeframe, notifying the editor if unable to do so.
To maintain the integrity of the double blind review process, authors must ensure that their submitted manuscripts do not contain any identifying information. The following guidelines apply:
-
Remove author names and affiliations
The title page should not include any author names, institutional affiliations, or contact information in the manuscript file submitted for review.
-
Anonymize self-citations
References to the authors' own previous work should be written in the third person or replaced with "[Author]" to avoid revealing identity.
-
Remove acknowledgements
Any acknowledgements, funding statements, or personal thanks that may identify the author must be omitted from the review copy and submitted separately.
-
Check file metadata
Authors must ensure that document metadata (such as Author field in file properties) does not contain identifying information before submission.
-
Avoid identifying project names
Grant numbers, project names, or institutional identifiers that may reveal the author's identity should be withheld or anonymized in the review version.
This structured and transparent peer review process ensures that all articles published in JHIAI meet high academic and ethical standards.
