Editorial policy and ethics
Open Access Statement
IJOH is a fully open access publication. It is freely accessible online, and full-text content is immediately available upon publication. IJOH does not charge authors submission fees or article processing fees. We are dedicated to the idea of a free and open exchange of scholarship from all disciplines, perspectives, and methodologies.
Peer Review Policy
All submissions to IJOH are screened by the Managing Editor or a Regional Editor-in-Chief for overall quality and consistency with the aims and scope of the Journal, as well as manuscript preparation guidelines. All submissions accepted for review are double-blind peer-reviewed by two reviewers who have been recruited as experts in the topic. Reviewer comments are provided to the authors regardless of the decision indicated by reviewers. Editors-in-Chief and/or the Managing Editor will make the ultimate decision for accepting or rejecting submissions based on recommendations from the reviewers.
Plagiarism
IJOH reserves the right to user plagiarism software to detect the re-use of copyrighted material within articles. IJOH has a zero tolerance policy for plagiarism including self-plagiarism. All work must be original and must credit the authors, acknowledge all sources, and receive permission if re-using copyrighted materials. Dual submission is considered a form of plagiarism. All detected or alleged plagiarism will be investigated as potential academic misconduct. These investigations will be managed by the Editor-in-Chief in collaboration with the Editor managing the submission. Findings will be copied to all authors for response. Minor instances in advance of publication may be corrected. Minor instances post-publication may be corrected with a notification in the article. Significant instances may be reported to the responsible authors' employers in addition to public notification in the journal via corrigendum if post-publication.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
IJOH prioritizes the exchange of human knowledge. While AI may be used in various ways to support authors with writing, AI-led content is not welcomed. Authors are required to declare the use of AI for content generation.
The use of AI by reviewers is strictly prohibited. Note that this includes the use of enhanced grammar editors as this may compromise the data of the original authors, feeding their content into large language models.
