Helwan International Journal for Nursing Research and Practice is committed to publishing manuscripts through a strict review process. Accepted Manuscripts are granted free online publication as open-access articles, which allow viewing, downloading, printing and citation. Helwan International Journal for Nursing Research and Practice publishes an issue every 6 months with a targeted timeframe of 3 weeks from the date of initial submission of manuscripts to the date of publication acceptance according to the following scheme:
1500 L.E Article processing charge. Peer Reviewing Cycle: 1)- Initial Submission Once submitted, the manuscript will be assigned to a member of our Editorial Board at the same field, who will read the paper and decide whether it is appropriate for the journal. Manuscripts that are within scope and seem, on initial assessment, to be technically sound and scientifically valid, will be assigned to reviewers. 2)- Peer-Reviewing Reviewers will be able to access Author’s manuscript securely using our online system, whilst maintaining referee anonymity. At the submission stage, authors may indicate a limited number of reviewers who should not review the paper. Excluded reviewers must be identified by name. Authors may also suggest potential reviewers; these suggestions are often helpful, but they are not always followed. 3)- Decision after review After considering the reviewer reports the Editorial Board Member will make one of the following decisions:
4)- Revisions In cases where the referees or Editorial Board Member has requested changes to the manuscript, Author will be invited to prepare a revision. The decision letter will specify a deadline for submission of a revised manuscript. Once resubmitted, the manuscript may then be sent back to the original referees or to new referees, at the Editorial Board Member's discretion. A revised manuscript should be submitted via the revision link provided in the decision letter, and not as a new manuscript. The revision should also be accompanied by a point-by-point response to referees explaining how the manuscript has been changed. 5)- Final submission and acceptance When all editorial issues are resolved, your paper will be formally accepted for publication. The received date stated on the paper will be the date on which the original submission passed our standard quality control checks. The accepted date stated on the paper will be the date on which the Editorial Board Member sent the acceptance letter. |
