Detailed Guidance
This resource explains the journal policy in practical terms so authors, reviewers, editors, and readers can understand expectations before taking action.
The guidance supports open-access publishing by emphasizing transparency, ethical conduct, accessible research outputs, and clear communication throughout the publication workflow.
Where a case needs individual review, the editorial office may request additional documents, statements, files, or clarifications before making a final decision.
Editorial Checklist
