HPHR Author Hub

HPHR is building new hub to assist authors as they prepare and submit their manuscripts for consideration.

Before submitting a manuscript, authors must familiarize themselves with the following:

• Submission guidelines pertinent to their type of manuscript (e.g. quantitative research article, op-ed, etc.),
• Submission pricing for the time period that they are submitting,
• Publication pricing for the time period that they are submitting,
• Criteria for manuscript desk rejection, and (e) criteria for manuscript acceptance.

BCPH Members: While there are certain benefits that can be applied as a BCPH member, these benefits are not always relevant during all parts of the publishing year – notably during expedited publishing campaigns.  

All questions pertaining to the manuscript peer review process must be asked before submission. It will be upon the Journal’s discretion to answer questions about the manuscript while it is actively being reviewed.

Once a manuscript has been submitted, there will be no reimbursement of submission fees. If the manuscript is withdrawn once the peer review process has been initiated, then a fee will be incurred. If a manuscript goes through the peer review process and is accepted — and the author(s) fail to acknowledge acceptance for publication — then a fee will be incurred.
