+ Transparent peer review

Criteria disclosed. Reviewers qualified. Timelines kept.

Reviewers are matched by subject specialism and publication record — not availability alone. Selection logic is on file and available to authors.

Review decisions arrive with structured feedback against published criteria: novelty, methodological rigour, and contribution to the field. No anonymous pass/fail verdicts.

Target turnaround: 30 days from assignment. Authors are notified at each stage — assignment, under review, decision pending.

Open access pricing

Full charges listed. No inquiry required.

Open access is a publication route, not a premium tier. Charges reflect actual production and indexing costs — no markup for visibility.
