Responsibilities of the Publisher

• The publisher is committed to ensuring that advertisements, reprints, or other forms of commercial revenue do not influence or affect editorial decisions. Furthermore, the editors will assist in facilitating communication with other journals and/or publishers when necessary.

Responsibilities of the Editors and Publication Decisions

• The editors are responsible for deciding which articles should be published, based on the feedback provided by peer reviewers. In reaching these decisions, the editors may consult with the peer reviewers.

Principle of Fairness

• Editors evaluate manuscripts/articles without regard to the author’s race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.
• Editors ensure that articles align with the journal’s scholarly focus and scope. Feedback from peer reviewers serves as the basis for the editor’s decision on whether an article is accepted, accepted with revisions (major or minor), or rejected.
• An article may be rejected for publication for various reasons, including: the article falls outside the journal’s scope; the scientific quality is insufficient for it to be classified as a scholarly work; there are fundamental methodological flaws; or the author refuses to address the improvements suggested by peer reviewers without a logical basis.
• The order of publication is determined by the sequence in which articles—and their subsequent revisions—are submitted to the editorial board.

Confidentiality

Conflict of Interest
