Article publishing options

All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 license. Authors retain appropriate rights to share and reuse their work according to the license terms. Published articles are immediately and freely available to readers worldwide without subscription barriers. AJAHEC supports responsible sharing, preprint posting, self-archiving, and open dissemination of accepted and published research. Authors may post preprints on reputable servers such as arXiv before or during peer review, provided this is disclosed during submission. After publication, authors should update the preprint record with the final article link and DOI.

Publishing timeline

Every manuscript undergoes an initial editorial assessment by the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor. Submissions are checked for scope fit, novelty, baseline quality, ethical compliance, and adherence to journal policies. Suitable manuscripts enter a double-blind peer-review process, where authors and reviewers remain anonymous. Manuscripts are typically evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Reviewers provide evidence-based comments and recommendations. Final editorial decisions may include accept, minor revision, major revision, reject, or transfer recommendation where applicable. Authors invited to revise must submit a detailed point-by-point response to reviewer comments. Accepted manuscripts proceed to copy-editing, typesetting, proof correction, and online publication

Ethics and reporting

AJAHEC is committed to strong publication ethics, research integrity, transparency, and responsible scholarly communication. Authors, reviewers, and editors are expected to follow recognized international standards of publication ethics, including principles aligned with COPE guidance. Authors must submit original work and avoid plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, inappropriate image or figure manipulation, citation manipulation, duplicate publication, and unethical authorship practices. Where applicable, authors must provide clear ethics statements for studies involving human participants, human data, animals, biological materials, sensitive data, hazardous materials, or dual-use research. Manuscripts should include statements on informed consent, data protection, ethical approval, competing interests, funding sources, author contributions, data availability, and use of generative AI tools. Generative AI tools and large language models cannot be listed as authors. If AI tools are used for writing assistance, code generation, analysis support, or figure preparation, authors must disclose how they were used. Human authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, citations, data, and conclusions of the manuscript.
