Editorial Policies

Editorial Policies

All of our journals endorse the COPE Core Practices and follow the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines for handling allegations of research misconduct.

Peer Review Process

All submissions to our journals undergo rigorous peer review. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent experts in the field. The peer review process is double-blind, meaning that both the reviewers and the authors remain anonymous throughout the review process.

Editorial Independence

The editorial decisions of our journals are made independently by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board. These decisions are based solely on the scientific merit, originality, and relevance of the submitted work. Financial considerations do not influence editorial decisions.

Conflict of Interest

All authors, reviewers, and editors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the interpretation or evaluation of submitted manuscripts. This includes financial relationships, personal relationships, academic competition, or intellectual property interests.

Data Sharing

We encourage authors to make their data available wherever possible, in line with current best practices for data transparency in scientific publishing.
