The Journal of Nepal Hydrogeological Association is published annually.
JNHA provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
Manuscripts submitted to JNHA must not have been published or accepted for publication, or be under consideration elsewhere. All the authors mentioned in the manuscript should have agreed upon its submission to JNHA. Author(s) have to submit manuscripts in Microsoft word file as e-mail attachment to the Editorial Office at: editorial@nha.org.np. Every manuscript should contain the covering letter, which includes the corresponding author's full address and telephone numbers and should be in an e-mail message sent to the Editor, with the file. The authors may also suggest panel of two to three reviewers. However, the Editorial board of JNHA will have final decision to designate reviewers.
The journal follows a blind peer-review system. All manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial board and if found suitable for JNHA, reviewers (at least two) will be assigned. Authors will receive reviewer's comments within a couple of weeks (not later than 1 month after first submission). It is the responsibility of author to make required corrections as per reviewer's comment within 1 month after receiving the reviewer's comments. Once the revised manuscript is received from the author, it will be again sent to reviewers to ensure whether their suggestions are incorporated and author satisfactorily responded to their queries in the revised version. If the author fails to revise satisfactorily even after two successive communications, the manuscript will be rejected. After receiving the positive remarks from the reviewers, the revised version of the manuscript in MSWord format will be paginated, formatted and converted to pdf and sent to author for proof reading. The author should check only for typographical or formatting errors (no significant correction on the text will be made at this stage) and respond to the editorial board within 5 days. After rectifying the errors, the updated version of the manuscript will be produced and the article will be uploaded to NHA website to appear online that will be freely accessible to everyone. Normally, the reviewing process takes around two months. However, it depends on how adequately and promptly the authors take part in reviewing process.
