Overview
Editor guidance defines how manuscripts, reviews, conflicts, corrections, and integrity concerns are handled.
Editorial decision-making
Editors assess submissions according to scope, scholarly merit, ethics, reporting quality, and reviewer advice.
- Screen submissions for completeness, declarations, plagiarism risk, and journal fit.
- Select qualified reviewers and manage reviewer conflicts.
- Make decisions independently from payment, ownership, advertising, sponsorship, or personal influence.
- Document decisions, revision requirements, and post-publication actions.
Integrity oversight
Editors protect the scholarly record before and after publication.
- Request data, approvals, or author explanations when needed.
- Use corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions where appropriate.
- Manage appeals and complaints through documented routes.
- Maintain confidentiality for authors, reviewers, and editorial discussions.
