Submission Guidelines for Authors
Hpathy.com/Homeopathy 4 Everyone invites the submission
of articles, essays, book-reviews, case studies, research
and correspondence that relate to homeopathy, health, alternative
and general medicine. The purpose of our journal is to provide
a platform for learning and professional growth and interaction.
We look forward to receiving your submission.
These guidelines are offered as a way to support your work
and to set broad parameters for submission to this publication.
Please do not hesitate to email
us if you have questions or concerns about an article
you are thinking about writing. We are happy to discuss article
ideas with willing writers.
Hpathy.com gets millions of visitors every year and our readers
include not only professional homeopaths but also students,
lay homeopaths, nurses, conventional doctors, patients and
people looking for health related information. We have readers
from all over the world who vary widely in practice experience,
homeopathic philosophy and access to homeopathic education.
Because of this, we aim to provide a reading culture which
is equally varied, while staying within the (debatable!) confines
of classical homeopathy. All articles are reviewed by our
editors before publication. Articles may be sent back for
revisions, when applicable.
Subjects to write about:
Homeopathy in general, history of homeopathy and medicine,
organon and philosophy (general and approach of specific stalwarts),
repertory(general and details/approach to various repertories),
homeopathic pharmacy, materia medica, therapeutics(with full
medical information about the disease being covered), research
(clinical/physical) related to homeopathy, seminar reports,
alternative medicine, health, well being and fitness, vaccination,
book-reviews of homeopathic and alternative medicine books
etc.

Hpathy.com for publication
2. There is no maximum word limit for the articles or cases.

12. Hpathy.com reserves the right to republish the articles,
cases, images and any other material submitted to it for publication,
on any of its sister sites (hpathy.org, hpathy.net, hpathy.de,
doctorbhatia.com etc.) or journal (electronic or paper) in
any language.
13. The authors are solely responsible for the content of
their articles. By publishing an article or case, Hpathy.com
or its directors/editors do not endorse the views of the author.
The author is solely responsible for any legal action/consequences
arising due to and from any article, case, image or any other
information submitted by the author to Hpathy.com.
Guidelines for cases:
1. There must be at least one year follow-up for all chronic
cases, and appropriate follow-up for acute cases.
2. You should take a patient's consent prior to submitting
his/her case to our journal/website. Hpathy.com will not be
responsible for any litigation arising from non-compliance
of this suggestion. Change identifying information as necessary.
3. For chronic cases, we are interested in your thought processes
during case taking and case analysis and those which reflect
your thoughts about the case over long term follow-up. We
are less interested in cases which don't teach much. Feel
free to elaborate on the how and why you managed the case
as you did. Let readers see your shortcomings, what didn't
work and why and how you were able to turn a case around.
4. For acute cases it is not necessary to elaborate so, but
do discuss your differential diagnosis in terms of allopathic
diagnosis if relevant, as well as the remedy selection.
5. If you use other modalities simultaneously, describe these
in detail: diet, herbal medicine, nutrition, etc. Most readers
are curious as to how other people actually practice in the
larger scheme of things.
6. If you are presenting a case of an unusual pathology,
please describe briefly the pathophysiology and usual prognosis.
7. Discuss the allopathic treatments which are being used
simultaneously.
8. Include repertorization- why you chose those rubrics,
how you actually did the repertorization.
9. Offer comparative materia medica if possible.
