Publication Policy

The Healthmed Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (HJPS) maintains clear and transparent publication policies to ensure the integrity and quality of published research.

Open Access Policy

HJPS is an open-access journal, meaning all published articles are freely available to readers worldwide without any subscription or paywall. We believe that open access maximizes the dissemination and impact of research.

Peer Review Policy

All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. At least two independent reviewers evaluate each manuscript. The editorial decision is based on the reviewers' recommendations and the editor's assessment.

Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions are made independently based on the quality and significance of the research. The journal maintains complete editorial independence from its publisher and any other organization.

Rapid Publication

We are committed to providing timely publication of accepted manuscripts. Our average turnaround time from submission to first decision is 2-4 weeks, and from acceptance to online publication is 1-2 weeks.

Archiving and Preservation

All published content is permanently archived and preserved through multiple digital archiving systems to ensure long-term accessibility.

Licensing

All articles published in HJPS are distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided proper credit is given to the original author(s) and source.

Self-Archiving Policy

Authors are permitted to self-archive their published articles in institutional or subject repositories immediately upon publication.
