Peer Review Policy

Peer Review Policy

The Lancet Public Health employs a rigorous, transparent, and unbiased peer review process to ensure the quality, validity, and originality of all submitted manuscripts. Each submission is evaluated by at least two independent experts in the relevant field. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise and are required to maintain confidentiality, disclose any potential conflicts of interest, and provide constructive feedback aimed at improving the manuscript. The journal follows a single- or double-blind review system depending on the article type and maintains editorial oversight to ensure fairness. Decisions on acceptance, revision, or rejection are based solely on the scientific merit, ethical compliance, and relevance of the work. This policy ensures that all publications meet the highest standards of academic integrity and scholarly excellence.
