Peer Review
The RPHB uses a double-blind peer-review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process Reviewers play a great role maintaining the quality of scientific content published by RPHB. They are thus required to spend time providing their knowledge and expertise on prospective publication materials. After the RPHB editors assess the submitted manuscripts for adherence to bulletin’s standards and the quality scientific language used as well as the overall applied research methodologies, the manuscript is sent to a peer reviewer who gives his/her expert judgment on the quality of the manuscript. The reviewer should mark the scientific significance and relevance of the paper and advise the team on whether if the content should be considered for publication or not. Peer-reviewers also give opinions on what authors can do in major revisions, minor revisions, and rejection or if they should re- submit to other public health bulletin/journals.
Publication Scheduling
This journal publishes four issues in one volume per year.
