Editorial decisions are based on the manuscript’s relevance to the journal’s focus and scope, originality, methodological soundness, academic contribution, ethical compliance, quality of presentation, and the results of the applicable peer-review process.

The journal’s ownership, institutional affiliation, and administrative management do not automatically determine the acceptance or rejection of an individual manuscript. Authors are evaluated according to the same published editorial policies and academic standards.

No manuscript should receive preferential treatment solely because of an author’s institutional affiliation, professional position, personal relationship, financial contribution, or other non-academic consideration.

Editors are expected to disclose and appropriately manage conflicts of interest. Where an editor has a conflict of interest concerning a submission, the manuscript should be handled by an appropriately qualified and independent editor.
