Reviewer Management

Reviewer Management Policy JHBRR upholds a rigorous reviewer management framework to ensure that medical research is both scientifically sound and ethically responsible.

1. Reviewer Recruitment and Selection

• Expertise: Reviewers are chosen based on clinical expertise, biomedical publication history, and familiarity with medical ethics.

• Database: Updated through medical citation analysis and recommendations from clinical research boards.

2. Reviewer Assignment Process

• Anonymity: A double-blind process is strictly enforced to prioritize scientific merit over institutional reputation.

• Inclusivity: We encourage participation from clinicians and researchers at various career stages to provide broad medical perspectives.

3. Reviewer Expectations and Guidelines

• Criteria: Evaluation focuses on methodological validity, ethical rigor (IRB compliance), and clinical impact.

• Confidentiality: Strict prohibition on the use of unpublished clinical data for personal or professional gain.

4. Quality Assurance

• Monitoring: Editors evaluate reviews for constructiveness and professional tone.

• Conflicting Reviews: Disagreements regarding medical data are resolved through a third expert or Board mediation.
