Submission Policy

The JHROS considers manuscripts for publication on the clear understanding that the submission complies with the highest standards of academic integrity and publishing ethics.

By submitting a manuscript to JHROS, authors confirm that the manuscript is original, has not been published previously, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Exceptions apply only to work previously disseminated in limited forms such as conference abstracts, academic theses, or working papers, provided that full disclosure is made at the time of submission. Manuscripts must not be submitted simultaneously to or under review by any other journal, publisher, or platform.

All listed authors have made substantial scholarly contributions to the work, have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript, and agree to its submission to JHROS. The corresponding author assumes responsibility for ensuring that all co-authors are appropriately acknowledged and informed. Where applicable, the submission has received all necessary institutional, organisational, or ethical approvals from relevant authorities, and the research complies with internationally accepted ethical standards.

JHROS maintains a low tolerance for plagiarism and AI. Plagiarism and AI are checked for every article before it is sent to reviewers.  Submissions that do not meet the journal’s scope, quality standards, ethical requirements, or formatting guidelines may be rejected at the editorial screening stage without external peer review.
