Submission Guidelines for Book Manuscript to FSH-PH Publications
Manuscript Preparation:
Formatting: Use a standard font (e.g., Times New Roman, 12-point) with double-spacing throughout the manuscript.
Cover Page: Include only the book title on the cover page, without any identifying author details to maintain anonymity during the peer review process.
Anonymous Content: Ensure that the entire manuscript, including acknowledgments and footnotes, does not contain any author-identifying information to comply with the double-blind peer review requirements.
Book Cover Layout:
Provided by Publisher: FSH-PH Publications will provide the official book cover layout. Authors may be required to provide high-resolution images or specific information to be included in the design.
Cover Elements: Ensure that any images or logos submitted for the cover comply with copyright requirements and are suitable for high-quality printing.
Double-Blind Anonymous Peer Review Process:

Reviewer Process: Reviewers will not know the identity of the author, and vice versa, to ensure an unbiased review.
Review Criteria: Manuscripts are evaluated based on originality, academic rigor, contribution to the field, clarity of writing, and adherence to ethical guidelines.
Revision and Resubmission: If the reviewers recommend changes, authors will need to revise the manuscript accordingly and resubmit, with changes highlighted for the reviewers' reference.
Submission Requirements:
Documents Needed:
An anonymized manuscript in Word (.doc or .docx) or PDF format.
A separate document containing the author's information, including the name, contact details, affiliation, and a short biography.
