Believers Journal of Health Sciences (BJHS) relies on qualified reviewers to maintain the academic quality, originality, ethical integrity, and relevance of published research. Reviewers play an essential role in supporting fair and constructive editorial decisions.
BJHS follows a strict double-blind peer-review process. Reviewers are requested to assess manuscripts objectively, confidentially, and solely on the basis of scholarly merit, ensuring an unbiased lifecycle for all incoming health sciences research.
All manuscript files received for review are protected confidential documents. Reviewers must not share, copy, discuss, or use unpublished information or methods for personal or professional benefit. Under the double-blind setup, reviewer identities remain entirely secure, and experts must not attempt to discover author frameworks.
Reviewers must decline an invitation if an interest clash might compromise impartiality. Clashes include personal, collaborative, financial, or institutional ties with the authors, recent joint supervision lines, or direct competition. Any potential conflict layer must be reported to the Editor prior to beginning review.
Strict Restriction: Reviewers must not upload, copy, or process confidential manuscript text into public artificial intelligence (AI) tools or third-party platforms. Any deployment of automated technical tools must maintain complete data privacy bounds and cannot replace independent scholarly judgment.
Comments should be specific and constructive, focusing purely on text quality rather than personal criticism. Reviewers submit one of five advisory recommendation selections:
Reviewers must notify the Editor immediately if they identify potential ethical misconduct—including text plagiarism, data fabrication/falsification, duplicate submission patterns, missing patient confidentiality protection, or citation manipulation. Reviewers should supply raw details to the office but must not independently investigate allegations or communicate with authors. The Editorial Office coordinates such audits confidentially under COPE framework lines.
Recognition Notice: BJHS highly appreciates the contribution of its reviewers and recognizes their vital role in maintaining the quality and integrity of global scholarly publishing. Reviewer participation remains completely advisory and does not grant direct editorial influence over final publication decisions.
