Editorial governance
Editorial roles are scholarly responsibilities. Service on the board confers no advantage in the review or acceptance of an editor's own work.
Independent decisions
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal.
Conflicts and recusal
Editors disclose relevant interests and do not handle manuscripts where a personal, professional, financial or institutional conflict could affect impartiality.
Editor-authored manuscripts
A submitting editor has no role in reviewer selection or decision-making. Another qualified editor manages the manuscript independently under the journal's usual policies.
Peer-review integrity
Peer review: Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts.
Confidentiality
Editors protect manuscript content, correspondence and reviewer identities and use unpublished material only for the assigned editorial assessment.
Research-integrity concerns
Potential ethics, authorship, data, image or review-process concerns are documented and escalated under the journal's Editorial Policies.
