Journal of Ayurveda Campus aims to accelerate the translation of scientific discovery into new or improved standards of clinical practice and promotes a wide-ranging exchange between basic, preclinical, clinical, epidemiologic, and health outcomes research in the field of Ayurveda medicine. It encourages the submission of the results of novel research investigations that bridge the laboratory and clinical settings of Ayurveda medicine with the overall goal of improving the clinical care of patients. Specifically, reports of preclinical research, preliminary human experimentation, and case reports or series about Ayurveda medicine with potential for application to human disease and illumination of important mechanistic insight are encouraged to be submitted. Article types include, but are not limited to, translational and patient-centered effectiveness outcome studies, basic research, clinical research, randomized controlled trials, case reports and series, protocols, preclinical studies, reviews, meta-analyses, editorials, commentaries, and theoretical discussion.

The Journal of Ayurveda Campus (JAC) follows a double-blind peer review process to ensure impartial editorial decision-making. All submissions to the Journal of Ayurveda Campus (JAC) are assessed by an editor, who will decide whether they are suitable for peer review. If an editor is on the author list or has any other competing interest regarding a specific manuscript, another member of the Editorial Board will be assigned to assume responsibility for overseeing peer review. Submissions that feel suitable for consideration will be sent for peer review to appropriate independent experts. Editors will make a decision based on the reviewers’ reports, and authors are sent these reports along with the editorial decision on their manuscript. Authors should note that even in light of one positive report, concerns raised by another reviewer may fundamentally undermine the study and result in the manuscriptbeing rejected.
Peer reviewers
Authors may suggest potential reviewers if they wish; however, whether or not to consider these reviewers is at the editor's discretion. Authors should not suggest recent collaborators or colleagues who work in the same institution as themselves. Authors who wish to suggest peer reviewers can do so in the cover letter and should provide institutional email addresses where possible or information that will help the editor verify the identity of the reviewer.
Authors may request the exclusion of individuals as peer reviewers, but they should explain the reasons in their cover letter on submission. Authors should not exclude too many individuals, as this may hinder the peer review process. Please note that the editor may choose to invite excluded peer reviewers.
Intentionally falsifying information, for example, by suggesting reviewers with a false name or email address, will result in rejection of the manuscript and may lead to further investigation in line with our misconduct policy.
