Submit Manuscript

A clear submission pathway for HIV/AIDS clinical and prevention research.

JCRHAP provides a structured submission process designed for HIV/AIDS clinical research and prevention science. Submissions are evaluated for scope fit, methodological rigor, and clinical relevance.

Complete submissions reduce delays and improve review efficiency. Review the scope and reporting requirements before submission.

• Confirm scope fit for HIV/AIDS research
• Prepare ethics approvals and consent statements
• Organize figures, tables, and supplementary files
• Include data availability statements and registry identifiers
• Review reporting standards for your study design

• Original research articles
• Systematic reviews and meta analyses
• Clinical reports and case series
• Implementation and program evaluations
• Short communications and brief reports

• Title page with author affiliations and corresponding author contact
• Structured abstract with objectives, methods, results, and conclusions
• Methods with detailed study design and analysis
• Results with clear tables, figures, and outcome reporting
• Discussion highlighting clinical relevance and limitations
• Ethics approval, funding, and conflict of interest statements

Provide IRB approvals and informed consent statements for clinical studies. Report adverse events and safety monitoring when applicable.

Transparency in ethics and safety reporting strengthens reviewer confidence and clinical trust.

Include a data availability statement with repository links or access details. Provide DOIs or accession numbers when possible.

If data are restricted, explain the access pathway for qualified researchers.

• CONSORT for randomized trials
• STROBE for observational studies
• PRISMA for systematic reviews
• CARE for case reports

Submit via ManuscriptZone for full tracking and editorial coordination. A quick submission option is available through the Simple Manuscript Submission Form for initial details.

JCRHAP uses single blind peer review. Reviewers evaluate scientific rigor, data quality, and clinical relevance. Editors provide consolidated decision letters with clear guidance.

Initial decisions are typically issued within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on reviewer availability.

Accepted manuscripts move to production for copyediting, proof review, and DOI registration. Articles are published under CC BY 4.0 to support open access reuse with attribution.

Authors should review proofs promptly to confirm the accuracy of figures, tables, and metadata.

• Scope alignment confirmed
• Ethics approvals and consent documented
• Data availability statement included
• Figures and tables labeled and cited
• Cover letter prepared with scope fit summary

The editorial office can provide guidance on scope, formatting, and submission steps. For questions about submission options, contact [email protected].

The editorial office supports authors with scope checks, formatting guidance, and policy clarifications before and after submission. Early communication prevents delays and helps manuscripts meet HIV/AIDS research standards.

Authors receive clear decision letters and may request clarification on reviewer feedback or revision priorities. The team can advise on file preparation, data statements, and reporting standards.

For workflow questions or guidance on special issues, contact [email protected] and include the manuscript title and journal name.

• Scope check support before submission
• Guidance on reporting standards
• Help with data availability statements
• Clarification on revision expectations
• Support during proof review

JCRHAP emphasizes transparent methods and reproducible reporting. Manuscripts should clearly describe study design, cohort selection, intervention protocols, and outcome definitions.

We encourage authors to document analytic decisions, adherence measures, and follow-up intervals. Clear reporting strengthens evidence quality and improves clinical interpretation.

Using structured reporting standards improves peer review efficiency and supports long-term reuse of HIV/AIDS evidence.

• Use CONSORT, STROBE, or PRISMA
• Report adverse events and limitations
• Define primary and secondary outcomes
• Document follow-up duration
• Provide transparent data statements

Submissions move through initial screening, peer review, revision, and production. Each stage includes quality checks to ensure ethical compliance and accurate reporting.

JCRHAP aims to deliver decisions within the 2 to 4 week review window, depending on reviewer availability and manuscript complexity. Prompt author responses help keep timelines on track.

After acceptance, articles proceed to copyediting, proofreading, and DOI registration before publication.

• Initial screening for scope and ethics
• Single blind peer review by experts
• Revision cycle based on reviewer input
• Production with copyediting and proofs
• Publication after final approval

Open access publishing increases the reach of HIV/AIDS research across clinical, academic, and public health communities. Articles are immediately accessible to clinicians, program leaders, and policy teams.

JCRHAP supports DOI registration and metadata quality checks to improve discoverability and citation tracking. Clear titles and structured abstracts strengthen search visibility.

Authors can increase impact by sharing DOI links, depositing datasets, and communicating findings through professional networks.

• DOI registration for permanent access
• Metadata validation for indexing
• Open access for global readership
• Support for institutional reporting
• Guidance on sharing published work

After publication, authors should share the DOI link through professional networks, institutional repositories, and conference presentations. This improves reach among clinicians and public health researchers.

Corrections, updates, or data clarifications can be coordinated with the editorial office to maintain an accurate scholarly record. JCRHAP supports transparent updates when needed.

• Share DOI links with collaborators
• Deposit accepted versions when allowed
• Monitor citations and engagement
• Request corrections promptly if needed
• Coordinate outreach with the journal
