Publisher Responsibilities and Editorial Independence

The publisher is responsible for providing the infrastructure, administrative support, and resources necessary for the journal's publication activities while respecting the academic independence of the editorial team.

Editorial decisions must be based on scholarly merit and must not be influenced by commercial considerations, publication fees, advertising, institutional relationships, or other inappropriate interests.

The publisher and editorial team share responsibility for maintaining transparent publishing practices, addressing ethical concerns, and protecting the integrity of the scholarly record. The publisher must not interfere with independent editorial decisions.
