Editors' Responsibilities and Editorial Board

7. Editors' Responsibilities

The Editorial Team is responsible for ensuring that the peer-review and publication processes are fair, transparent, confidential, timely, and consistent with recognized standards of publication ethics. Editors shall:

Treat all manuscripts fairly and impartially, regardless of authors’ nationality, affiliation, gender, background, or other personal characteristics.
Select qualified, independent, and appropriate reviewers with relevant expertise and manage the peer-review process objectively.
Maintain the confidentiality of manuscripts, authors, reviewers, and all information obtained during the editorial and peer-review process.
Base editorial decisions solely on scientific quality, originality, methodological soundness, significance, and relevance to the Journal’s scope.
Declare and manage conflicts of interest and refrain from handling manuscripts where impartiality may be compromised.
Where a handling editor has a conflict of interest, the Editor-in-Chief shall reassign the manuscript to another qualified Editorial Committee member. If the conflict involves the Editor-in-Chief, the manuscript shall be assigned to the Deputy Editor or an appropriate senior member of the Editorial Board. The reassignment and its reason shall be documented in the Journal's internal records.
Take appropriate and timely action in cases of suspected research misconduct, plagiarism, unethical research, or other breaches of publication ethics, including corrections, retractions, or other necessary editorial measures.
Communicate with authors professionally, respectfully, and within reasonable timeframes, providing clear editorial decisions and relevant feedback.
Provide an initial screening decision within 30 days of submission and, where applicable, communicate the peer-review outcome within 90 days after the manuscript is sent to reviewers. Exceptional circumstances that cause delays shall be communicated to the authors together with an updated expected timeline.
Ensure that all editorial activities comply with the Journal’s publication ethics, peer- review procedures, and editorial policies, and are consistent with recognized international standards of scholarly publishing.
