Double-blind reviewing policy

Reviewers who accept an invitation to evaluate a manuscript for GPPPH are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and academic rigor. They must conduct their evaluations impartially, providing constructive and scholarly feedback while refraining from any personal criticism of the author(s). All manuscripts are to be treated as strictly confidential; reviewers must not share, discuss, or use any content from the submission without explicit permission from the Editor. Additionally, reviewers are required to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest arising from personal, professional, institutional, or competitive relationships and must decline the assignment if such conflicts could compromise the objectivity of their assessment.

GPPPH adheres to a double-blind review policy, ensuring that both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation process. Manuscripts are subjected to an external peer review, typically involving 2–3 reviewers who are recognized experts in the relevant subject area. At least one reviewer is drawn from the international academic community to provide a broader, comparative perspective. This rigorous process ensures the integrity, fairness, and scholarly quality of all published work.
