Submission Instruction:
1. Submission: Papers submitted for publication should describe original work, not previously published elsewhere, totally or partly. Manuscripts must be submitted only in English and should be written according to sound grammar and proper terminology. Submission is only acceptable via an online peer review system that allows authors to submit manuscripts and track their progress via a web interface. Iranian authors can send the Persian version of their manuscript and, if accepted, send the English version after the review process. In order to increase visibility, it is necessary to send Farsi and English versions at the same time.
Important: Please check whether you already have an account in the system before trying to create a new one. If you have reviewed or authored for the journal in the past you will likely have had an account created.
Language and style: Manuscripts must be in English and Microsoft Word format (.doc/.docx). The manuscript (including references, and figure legends) must be double-spaced typed between lines, using 12-point Times New Roman font, 3.5 cm margins, and left justification. Each line and page of the manuscript must be numbered.
Cover letter: The manuscript must be accompanied by a cover letter to the editor-in-chief, undertaking that the manuscript has not been previously published or submitted for publication in other journals. Also, conflicts of interest should be declared obviously in the cover letter.
Title page: The title page should contain the title of the manuscript, name(s), and affiliation(s) of the author(s), as well as the postal address, postal code, tel, and e-mail of the corresponding author.

Figures/Illustrations
All authors must strictly follow the guidelines below for preparing illustrations for publication in JHEHP. If the figures are sub-standard, the manuscripts may be rejected.
Authors are expected to submit high-quality figure(s) in MS Word, TIFF, or JPEG formats. If necessary, the figures should be improved by the authors themselves or by professional graphic designers from their organization or country.
Guideline for Figures/Illustrations:
• Illustrations should be embedded in the text file and numbered consecutively in the order of their appearance. Each figure should include only a single illustration, which should be cropped to minimize the amount of space occupied by the illustration.
• If a figure is in separate parts, all parts of the figure must be provided in a single composite illustration file.
• Photographs should be provided with a scale bar if appropriate, as well as high-resolution component files.
Scaling/Resolution:
- Line art image type should be in TIFF, PNG, or JPEG format, with the color mode being Monochrome 1-bit or RGB, in a resolution of 900-1200 dpi.
- Halftone image type should be in TIFF format, with color mode being RGB or Grayscale, in a resolution of 300 dpi.
- The combination image type should be in TIFF format, with the color mode being RGB or Grayscale, in a resolution of 500-900 dpi.
- Illustrations may be submitted in PNG (preferred format for photos or images), Microsoft Word (version 5 and above), TIFF, or JPEG.
- For TIFF figures with considerably large file sizes, it is advisable to restrict the file size in online submissions. Authors may convert to JPEG format before submission to reduce file size and upload time while retaining acceptable quality.
- The width should be 8.5 inches or 7791 pixels, and the height should be 11 inches or 4724 pixels, with a minimum resolution of 300 pixels/inch.
- All figures should be in vector scale.
- The number of tables/figures (in total) should not exceed 7. The same data should not be presented in tables, figures, and text simultaneously.
- Each figure, table, and bibliographic entry must have a reference in the text.
