How We Use Your Personal Data

Personal information collected by TJTHS is used exclusively for legitimate scholarly and publishing purposes, including:

• Processing, evaluating, peer-reviewing, and publishing submitted manuscripts.
• Communicating editorial decisions, peer-review requests, publication status, and APC invoices.
• Accurately attributing authorship, affiliations, and metadata in published articles and indexing services (e.g., Crossref, OpenAlex).
• Maintaining internal editorial records, publication integrity, and preventing publication malpractice.
• Improving website functionality, performance, and user experience.

Peer Review Confidentiality

TJTHS operates under a double-blind peer-review system. The identity of reviewers is kept strictly confidential from authors, and author identities are withheld from reviewers during evaluation.

Unpublished manuscripts, reviewer reports, and editorial communications are treated as confidential documents and will never be shared with unauthorized third parties or used for personal advantage.

Third-Party Data Sharing

TJTHS does not sell, rent, lease, or trade personal data to commercial third parties or marketing agencies.

Necessary bibliographic metadata (author names, affiliations, article titles, abstracts, DOIs) of published articles are shared publicly with scholarly indexing services, digital archives, and registration agencies (such as Crossref, ISSN Portal, and OpenAlex) to facilitate research discoverability.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website uses standard cookies to manage user sessions, enhance navigation, and collect anonymous traffic analytics. Cookies do not extract personal files or compromise your device security. You can adjust your browser settings to decline cookies, though some website features may function with reduced performance.

Data Security & Retention

We implement appropriate technical, administrative, and physical security measures to safeguard your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

Personal data related to published articles (authorship, attribution, DOIs) is retained permanently as part of the official scholarly record. Editorial correspondence and review records are stored securely for necessary audit and research integrity purposes.

Your Data Rights & Policy Updates

Users have the right to request access to, correction of, or updating of their personal profile information. Requests regarding data updates or privacy inquiries can be directed to our Editorial Office.

TJTHS reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal, regulatory, or academic publishing standards. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with immediate effect.
