Editorial Team
At The Human Occupation and Wellbeing Journal, our editorial team embraces the ubuntu philosophy—recognising that our strength lies in our shared humanity. We understand that the publication process can be challenging, especially if you have previously received disheartening or overly harsh feedback from other journals. Here, you will find reviewers and editors who are committed to offering empathetic, constructive guidance. Whether you are a first-time author or presenting work honed through years of academic effort, we are mindful of the unique journey behind each submission. When your study demonstrates the innovation and critical insight that we champion, you can be assured that our board will work closely with you to refine and strengthen your work, nurturing its full potential in a supportive and respectful community. However, if your paper does not align with the journal's scope or lacks new knowledge, it will be promptly rejected. Consider it a learning experience.
