Paper Prints Policy
The "Journal of Medical & Health Sciences Review" is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic publishing and dissemination of research findings in the field of medical and health sciences. As part of our dedication to transparency, accessibility, and ethical publishing practices, we have established the following Paper Prints Policy:
- Digital Publication Preference: The journal primarily operates as an electronic publication, and all accepted manuscripts are published online on the journal's website in an open-access format. Authors are encouraged to distribute the electronic version of their published paper to colleagues, institutions, and interested parties.
- Print Version Availability: While the journal primarily exists in digital format, a print version of the journal may be made available upon special request or for archival purposes. The decision to provide a print version will be made by the editorial board on a case-by-case basis.
- Requesting Print Copies: Authors, institutions, or individuals interested in obtaining print copies of the journal or specific articles published therein may make a formal request to the editorial office. Requests should be directed to the Editor-in-Chief or Managing Editor and must include details such as the desired volume, issue, and specific article(s) requested.
- Print Copy Fees: The provision of print copies may be subject to applicable fees to cover printing, handling, and shipping costs. Authors or requestors will be informed of any associated fees before the fulfillment of the print copy request.
- Limited Print Runs: Print copies of the journal or individual articles will be produced in limited quantities to minimize environmental impact and ensure cost-effectiveness. The editorial board reserves the right to determine the number of print copies produced based on demand and resource availability.
- Archival Considerations: Print copies of the journal may be archived by the publisher, relevant institutions, or libraries for historical and reference purposes. Efforts will be made to ensure the long-term preservation and accessibility of print copies in accordance with best practices for scholarly publishing.
- Acknowledgment of Digital Edition: Print copies of the journal will include a notice acknowledging the availability of the digital edition on the journal's website, encouraging readers to access the online version for the most up-to-date content and supplementary materials.
- Policy Review and Updates: This Paper Prints Policy may be periodically reviewed and updated by the editorial board to reflect changes in publishing practices, technology, or stakeholder feedback. Any revisions to the policy will be communicated to authors, readers, and stakeholders through appropriate channels.
