The peer-review process is a critical aspect of ensuring the quality and credibility of the articles published in Discoveries in Public Health Journal. Our peer-review process is rigorous and transparent, involving multiple steps to ensure that each article meets our high standards of scientific integrity, accuracy, and relevance.

Once an article is submitted, it undergoes a preliminary screening by the editorial team to ensure that it meets the journal’s scope and formatting requirements. Next, it is sent to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the article’s subject area. The reviewers evaluate the article based on its scientific soundness, methodology, data analysis, and contribution to the field.

Based on the reviewers’ feedback, the editorial team makes a decision on whether to accept, reject, or request revisions to the article. If revisions are requested, the author is given a specific timeline to address the reviewers’ comments and resubmit the article. Once the revisions are made, the article undergoes a final review by the editorial team to ensure that all comments have been adequately addressed.

The acceptance of an article is based solely on its scientific merit and adherence to the journal’s editorial policies, without regard to the author’s institutional affiliation, gender, race, or nationality. Our goal is to ensure that every published article contributes to the advancement of public health knowledge and practice.

The timeline for publication may vary depending on the article’s complexity, the number of revisions required, and the availability of reviewers. However, we strive to provide a timely and efficient review process while maintaining the highest standards of quality.
