Submission Guidelines

  1. All submissions are handled electronically. Manuscripts must be submitted at www.editorialmanager.com/ijhr via Editorial Manager, a fully web-based submission, peer-review, and tracking system. New authors submitting via this system for the first time will first be required to register. From the account created, current submissions can be monitored and subsequent submis- sions can be made.
  2. Submission of a manuscript implies that the paper has not been published and is not being considered for publication in another journal.
  3. Once a paper has been accepted for publication in this journal, the author is assumed to have transferred the copyright to World Scientific Publishing Co.
  4. All submitted papers will be acknowledged and refereed.
  5. Authors are encouraged to use Latex2e to typeset their contributions using the journal’s style/template document available online (Readme / Download). Otherwise, Microsoft Word is acceptable, following as closely as possible the format outlined in the journal’s typesetting instructions. Editorial Manager allows submission of source files at the submission stage. Papers may also be submitted in the form of a single .PDF or .PS file with fully embedded graphics (of a minimal resolution for the purposes of evaluation).
  6. Upon acceptance, higher quality graphics source files conforming to the requirements in the typesetting instructions may be requested by the publisher for use in the preparation of the publishable version of the paper.
  7. There will be no page charge for the journal. The first author of each accepted paper will receive the published PDF free of charge. Please visit our “Author Rights” page for the latest information on permissions to use your article, submitted, accepted or already published by World Scientific. An order form can be requested to order paper offprints.

Please visit “For Authors” at www.worldscinet.com/page/authors/index


IMPORTANT NOTICE:
World Scientific Publishing will only issue an official invoice for the payment of an Article-Processing Charge if you opt for Gold Open Access, and after your paper has been accepted. Before responding to any payment request, we advise you to check on your submission's status at Editorial Manager website, or contact the Editor-in-Chief/Managing Editor, to ensure your submission has officially been "Accepted" for publication. Please disregard any payment request if otherwise. When in doubt, contact us at World Scientific (editor@wspc.com).
