IJTHR follows the uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted, issued by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) code of conduct for editors. The originality of the submissions is checked with plagiarism detection software. All submitted manuscripts are checked for similarity through a trustworthy software named iThenticate to be assured about their originality and then rigorously peer-reviewed by the international reviewers. Our policy for similarity levels is the similarity with each source should not exceed 1% and total similarity should not exceed 20%. For avoiding desk rejection, authors might consider checking the similarity level before submission. All submitted articles are evaluated at the submission to meet the structural and subject principles of the Iranian Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Research (IJTHR). The matched articles will go under a double-blinded peer-review process by at least two reviewers (experts in the field who are not part of the journal’s editorial staff) who are selected by the Editorial Board members according to their field specialties. The Editorial Board members have the final responsibility to select the articles.
