Privacy Policy & Data Protection Framework

Last Updated: March 2026

Advances in Multidisciplinary Health Research (AMHR) operates as a peer-reviewed, open-access academic periodical. The journal is firmly committed to safeguarding the personal data and intellectual privacy of authors, reviewers, editorial board members, student researchers, and digital platform visitors globally. This statutory document outlines our strict protocols regarding data collection, processing pathways, and compliance matrices under international academic publishing mandates.

Jurisdictional Compliance Matrix: This policy is fully harmonised with global data governance laws, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023, and the Information Technology Act 2000. It adheres strictly to the core transparency mandates established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).

1. Lawful Basis and Typology of Data Collection

A. Editorial & Manuscript Submission Profiles

During submission or account configuration, the platform processes verifiable metadata fields including: legal names, primary institutional affiliations, professional contact configurations, academic biographical notes, and unique permanent identifiers such as Open Researcher and Contributor IDs (ORCID).

B. Peer Reviewer Verification Logs

To protect the systemic integrity of double-blind evaluations, we collect verifiable academic metrics including historical publication registries, verified subject-matter expertise vectors, and institutional verification records.

2. Purposes of Data Processing and Utilization

All personal metrics are processed exclusively under strict legal bases (contractual necessity for publication, legitimate academic interest, and explicit user consent). Processing targets include: managing manuscript evaluation cycles, tracking editorial assignments, preventing peer-review manipulation, cross-referencing ethics records, executing automated plagiarism screening, assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), and delivering distribution updates.

3. Restrictions on Third-Party Data Dissemination

AMHR maintains an absolute restriction against selling, trading, or commercialising personal data records. Verified metadata is exported exclusively to authoritative global academic indexing engines, persistent archival repositories (such as Crossref or Portico), and open-access metadata harvesters to facilitate global citations. Academic details will never be disclosed to third parties unless required by binding legal decrees or institutional research misconduct investigations.

4. User Rights and Data Rectification Mandates

All platform users maintain absolute legal rights to access, rectify, restrict processing, or permanently delete their personal profiles from our database. To execute data rights, correct metadata errors, or file formal inquiries, contact the Editorial Secretariat office directly via privacy@amhrjournal.com or our administration team at info@amhrjournal.com. Final processing requests will be fully completed within 30 statutory business days.
