Editorial and Publishing Centre

The Institute’s Editorial and Publishing Centre prepares the journal for publication and organises its production. The Centre provides editorial and technical preparation of materials, typesetting and coordination of the publishing process.

Publisher responsibilities

• Provide the organisational, financial and technical resources necessary for the journal’s operations and publishing activities.
• Provide the conditions necessary for editorial assessment, peer review and preparation of materials for publication.
• Ensure that information about the journal, its editorial board, publication terms and current policies is accurate and publicly available.
• Provide organisational and technical measures to support access to, preservation of and backup of published materials.
• Support the editorial office in publishing corrections, retracting articles and addressing publication ethics concerns in accordance with the journal’s policies.
• Protect confidential editorial data, copyright and the interests of participants in the publication process.

Editorial independence

Decisions on the scientific assessment of manuscripts, referral for peer review, acceptance or rejection are made by the Editor-in-Chief and authorised editors in accordance with the journal’s published policies.

The publisher safeguards the independence of editorial decisions. The founder’s institutional interests, funding sources, sponsorship or author payments do not determine the outcomes of scientific assessment. Where a conflict of interest exists, the manuscript is assigned to an independent editor.
