JOHRMS relies on a rigorous double-blind peer review process to maintain academic integrity, ensure transparency, and uphold publishing standards.

1. Reviewer Selection

Reviewers are selected based on expertise, publication record, and familiarity with the subject matter. JOHRMS encourages diversity in review panels, drawing from both regional and international academic pools.

2. Review Criteria

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on:

• Originality and relevance
• Scientific rigor and methodology
• Clarity and coherence of writing
• Contribution to existing knowledge
• Quality of analysis and interpretation
• Ethical compliance

3. Timelines

• Reviewers are expected to return reports within 3–4 weeks.
• Extensions may be granted upon request.

4. Confidentiality

All manuscript content must be treated as confidential. Reviewers must not share or discuss the manuscript with others.

5. Conflict of Interest

Reviewers should disclose any conflicts of interest that may affect objectivity and recuse themselves if necessary.

6. Recognition

Reviewers may request a certificate of service upon completion of reviews, and outstanding reviewers will be acknowledged annually.
