Author Contribution

HIJBR uses the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) system to clearly identify each author's contributions to our publications. This ensures we give each author proper and transparent recognition. For more details about the CRediT system, visit the official website: https://credit.niso.org/.
After the references, include a statement where the authors declare whether there is a conflict of interest, as well as specify each author's contribution to the research.

 

ORCID:

To standardize authorship, the HIJBR made it mandatory to include an ORCID ID at submission.

The ORCID identifier can be obtained free of charge at: https://orcid.org/register

 

Submission platform

Publication Process

After final approval, manuscripts will move to editing, where they will be prepared for final publication. The partner publisher (Horizons Intermediary) will send the graphic proofs and subsequently request corrections to references, figures, tables, and so on. At this stage, only specific editorial changes will be accepted.
