Review Policy

The MHRP review process is handeled by the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) and Associate Editors. Initially, either the EIC or an AE (Action Editor) assesses each of the papers to decide whether they should undergo peer review. This assessment takes into account factors such as how well the manuscript aligns with MHRP's Editorial Coverage Statement, its overall scope and potential importance, compliance with the Instructions to Authors, and the overall writing quality. Papers selected for peer review are then evaluated by members of the Editorial Board and Ad Hoc reviewers chosen by the Action Editor responsible for the paper.

Masked Review Policy

MHRP follows a double-blind review process, ensuring that the identities of both authors and reviewers remain concealed. During peer review, manuscripts are distributed without their title pages to prevent author identification. Each manuscript should include a distinct title page with authors' names and affiliations, while these details should not be present elsewhere in the manuscript. Any footnotes disclosing author information should be placed on a separate page. Authors should take all necessary measures to ensure that the manuscript itself does not reveal any hints about their identity.
