Review Process

Papers that authors submit to PHF must be original work, never published earlier in any medium, and not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. It also focuses on whether the paper is based on original research, as well as creativity of research method and rationality of conclusion.

All submissions will be assigned to 2-4 reviewers through 7 steps, which are illustrated in the following figures. As soon as we receive your submission, the Editorial office will Pre-Screen your manuscript within 1 week. The officer will check whether your submission is valid and language is fluent. Following is a formal peer-review process accomplished by experts within the PHF fields. It is decided by Editor-in-Chief or Editor whether your manuscript is accepted or not. All submitted papers will be reviewed in about 4 weeks.
