  • Other scholarly article types specifically approved by the editorial office

All submissions are subject to editorial assessment and, where appropriate, independent peer review. Acceptance depends on scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, originality, and relevance to the journal’s scope.

Criteria for Scope Relevance

A manuscript is considered within the scope of MPHRJ when it addresses a clearly defined question relevant to medical, pharmaceutical, or health sciences and provides a scientifically justified contribution to the field.

Manuscripts that are primarily descriptive, lack adequate methodological detail, make conclusions unsupported by their findings, or have no clear connection to the journal’s stated scope may be declined.

The inclusion of a subject within the scope does not guarantee acceptance. All manuscripts must meet the journal’s scientific, ethical, and editorial requirements.

Research Ethics and Reporting Standards

All submissions must comply with applicable research ethics requirements and relevant reporting standards. Authors are responsible for providing accurate information about study design, methods, data analysis, ethical approval where applicable, informed consent where required, funding, conflicts of interest, and contributions to the work.

The editorial team may request additional documentation when necessary to assess the scientific integrity and ethical acceptability of a submission.
