Section 1: Vision, Scope & Authority
JoWaCH is a quarterly, double-blinded peer-reviewed authority dedicated to advancing the holistic health of women, neonates, children, and adolescents. Our mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world global solutions.
The journal is published by The House of Quantum Networks (THoQN), a Scholarly Publishing Agency registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), Registration No: 0248644.
Our architecture rests on three pillars: Women’s Health (lifespan approach), Child & Neonatal Health (nutrition and development), and Global Health Policy (UHC and digital health).
Yes. While we have defined sections like Adolescent Health and Emergency Medicine, we are open to any aspect of Women’s and Child Health (WCH) that aligns with our global mission of improving well-being.
To maintain absolute transparency, submissions from editorial board members undergo a rigorous, independent review by unbiased external editors.
Section 2: Manuscript Architecture & Submission
We enforce a strict Similarity Index of less than 15%. Any manuscript exceeding this threshold faces immediate desk rejection without appeal.
Original Research manuscripts should be approximately 5,000 words, presenting new empirical findings from RCTs, Epidemiological, or Observational studies.
Yes. In addition to a structured abstract of 250 words, authors must provide a 250-word summary in Layman English to ensure the research is accessible to a general audience and policymakers.
Authors must include study design, setting, population, mandatory sample size estimation, sampling technique, and a detailed methodology for mitigating biases and confounders.
Data must be presented in tabular format only. Notably, there is no limit to the number of tables or figures allowed, emphasizing our commitment to detailed statistical rigor.
All manuscripts must strictly follow the Vancouver Style.
Authors must upload three supporting files: the Questionnaire/Data Collection Tool, the Raw Dataset, and the Formal Ethics Approval.
Section 3: Intelligence Classification (Article Types)
Systematic Reviews are limited to 5,000 words, and the use of the PRISMA flow diagram is mandatory.
These are concise 3,000-word summaries designed for global decision-makers, offering actionable recommendations for maternal and pediatric policy.
Yes. Field/Practice Articles (2,500 words) are designed for frontline professionals to share innovations and practical experiences.
These are 3,500-word papers focusing on novel techniques or the validation of innovative methodologies, such as those used in social autopsy.
Section 4: Open Access & Fee Structure (Effective 2026)
The total investment is PKR 40,000 (USD 200), split into a PKR 15,000 submission fee and a PKR 25,000 post-publication APC.
This is an accelerated pathway for high-impact research. For an Original Article, the Fast-Track total is PKR 70,000 (USD 400), ensuring a timeline of less than 20 weeks to global visibility.
Yes. Short Reports total PKR 10,000 ($100), and Letters to the Editor total PKR 10,000 ($100) under normal processing.
The Submission Fee is mandatory at the time of initial submission. The Article Processing Charge (APC) is due only after formal approval for publication.
Section 5: The Excellence Mandate (Waivers)
Waivers are data-driven and granted to manuscripts that score in the Top 4% (Quality Index >90%) across parameters like Novelty, Ethical Rigor, and Policy Impact.
A waiver may be granted if a manuscript receives "Outstanding" comments from all reviewers, signaling high originality and transformative potential.
Section 6: Global Integration & Discoverability
Yes. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), we adhere to the highest international standards of research integrity.
We leverage ORCID to provide researchers with unique, persistent digital identifiers, ensuring seamless attribution and distinguishing your scholarly contributions globally.
We index full-text and metadata in leading search engines and use Scilit (developed by MDPI) to ensure articles are indexed promptly via CrossRef and PubMed.
Yes. Through Crossref, we provide official DOI registration, ensuring every peer-reviewed work has a permanent, citable address.
Section 7: Operational Communication
The Submission Portal is the sole communication channel. To maintain efficiency, no email communication will be entertained regarding active manuscripts.
Authors are mandated to monitor the portal frequently. Timeliness is critical, and prompt responses are essential for maintaining our speed and efficiency commitment.
This is a THoQN process where accepted manuscripts are analyzed to amplify their impact across our global health and technology networks (ELAAJ, STEMConnect).
We focus on the unique physiological and social needs of adolescents, including SRHR education, mental health, and substance use prevention.
Editorial Support
For institutional partnerships or ethical inquiries, include your full credentials. Note: Manuscript queries must go through the portal.
The WCH Ecosystem
JoWaCH is integrated with ELAAJ and STEMConnect, creating a "Purple Cow" solution for researchers seeking global policy impact.
