A: General Policy Guidelines
1. Manuscript Processing
JHSS strictly observes publication ethics by subjecting submitted works that meet the journal's
standards to an anonymous peer review process. Up to three anonymous reviewers review each
submitted work. Authors submitting their papers to this journal should thus ensure that their
submitted works are not being considered for publication by other publishers.
2. Manuscript Preparation
Papers submitted to this journal should strictly adhere to these instructions for authors. The
citation and referencing styles should conform to APA 7th Edition. The structure of the paper
is supposed to follow this order: title page, abstract, keywords, main text introduction, data and
methods, findings, discussion, and conclusion and policy implications. The word limit for this
journal is 8000 words, including the references.
3.Ethical Guidelines
Authors are required to secure permission before reusing third-party material in their
manuscripts. This requirement applies especially to copyrighted materials. The journal,
however, accepts a limited use of short extracts of texts without securing formal permission.
In addition, authors must obtain verbal or written consent from research participants in
qualitative and quantitative studies allowing them to publish their opinions.
4. Manuscripts submission and Processing
The journal does not publish two articles in a single issue from a single author or group of
authors. While multiple submissions of manuscripts are allowed, only one manuscript is
considered per issue
