Author Guidelines & Submission Protocols

Editorial Policy & Ethical Mandate

The EPH International Journal of Medical and Health Science (IJMHS), published by E-Pub Solution Private Limited, is committed to the highest standards of research integrity. Our editorial processes align with the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines.

Double-Blind Peer Review

To ensure impartiality, the identities of authors and reviewers are strictly concealed. Evaluation focuses on methodology, clinical significance, and originality.

Plagiarism & Integrity

The journal has zero tolerance for plagiarism. All submissions are screened using standard detection tools prior to editorial review.

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check their submission's compliance with all of the following items:

  • • Exclusive Submission: The manuscript has not been previously published and is not currently under consideration by another journal.
  • • File Format: Submission files must be in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or RTF format.
  • • References: Reference lists must be in alphabetical order. Active URLs/DOIs for references must be provided wherever available.
  • • Withdrawal: Withdrawal requests are only processed during the review phase. Withdrawal is prohibited post-acceptance.

Manuscript Formatting Guidelines

Layout & Font

Use 12-point Times New Roman font, single-spaced. Employ italics for emphasis rather than underlining (except for URLs).

Visuals

All figures and tables should be placed within the text at the appropriate points, centered, and sequentially numbered.

Conflict of Interest

Authors must declare any competing interests, including financial ties, institutional affiliations, or personal connections that may influence the interpretation of the research. If no conflict exists, a statement to this effect must be included in the manuscript.

Corrections & Ethical Oversight

IJMHS takes responsibility for the permanent record of scholarship. In cases of identified honest errors, the journal will issue a formal Corrigendum. For verified misconduct (data fabrication or major plagiarism), a Retraction Notice will be issued in accordance with COPE and Crossref standards.
