The International Journal of Comprehensive Health, Medicine & Dentistry (IJCHMD) employs a double-anonymous peer-review process to ensure objectivity, fairness, and academic rigor. In this model, both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation process, minimizing bias and maintaining the integrity of scholarly communication.
The editorial and peer-review process follows a structured workflow:
Manuscripts are submitted via the journal’s online system and assigned a unique manuscript ID.
The editorial office evaluates:
Scope alignment
Compliance with Author Guidelines
Formatting and overall quality
Submissions that do not meet these criteria may be declined without external review.
All manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection tools to ensure originality and ethical compliance.
A qualified editor with subject-matter expertise is assigned to oversee the review process.
A minimum of two independent reviewers are invited based on expertise, academic background, and availability.
Reviewers assess the manuscript based on:
Originality and novelty
Methodological rigor
Ethical compliance
Clarity and structure
Scientific contribution
Constructive feedback is provided to support manuscript improvement.
Typical review timeline: 1–2 weeks
