Complaints & Appeals

Although the Journal of Nurses and Midwives Pakistan does not place high priority on appeals, we do respect your opinion and a valuable appeal may lead to reconsideration. While making an appeal the authors often request to change referees for the respective manuscript. The editors are reluctant to use new reviewers for the same manuscript. According to the policy, referees are selected keeping in view, their expertise in the field. Assigning new referees may further complicate the process rather than simplifying it. This process may take longer but the authors must keep in mind that the manuscript undergoing an appeal cannot be submitted elsewhere during this time.  

Complaints must be registered via email at kgpublisher@gmail.com describing your concerns, which will be further investigated as per the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Guidelines.
