About Us
MISSION: Our mission is to make scholarly research accessible, credible, and durable. We provide researchers worldwide with a rigorous, transparent, and efficient route to publication that upholds the highest standards of research integrity and editorial independence.
We are committed to serving authors, reviewers, editors, and readers with equal care, and to building a publishing portfolio that is trusted by the international research community.
VISION: We aim to be a publisher that researchers choose for the quality of our editorial processes and the integrity of our practices.
Our long-term goal is to achieve recognition by major indexing databases and to ensure full compliance with the highest international publishing standards.
VALUES: Six principles guide every decision we make:
- Integrity: We do not compromise on ethical standards. Our policies apply equally to all stakeholders, and all misconduct is addressed as per the established international guidelines.
- Transparency: Our policies, processes, fees, and editorial decisions are documented and publicly available. We provide comprehensive assistance to our authors, ensuring a smooth and rewarding journey from manuscript submission to publication.
- Editorial independence: Editorial decisions are made by qualified editors based on scientific merit alone. Commercial considerations have no bearing on acceptance or rejection.
- Quality: Every manuscript is assessed for scientific rigour, methodological soundness, and appropriate reporting before publication.
- Accessibility: Open Access is not a product feature for us, it is a founding principle. All published content is free to read, download, and reuse under CC BY 4.0.
- Our digital preservation ensures published content remains accessible regardless of any changes to our infrastructure. We are committed to eco-friendly practices, leveraging digital solutions to minimize our environmental impact.
