Peer Review Policy

Applies open peer review, ensuring transparency in evaluation. Reviewers’ names are disclosed to authors, and peer review reports may be accessible for readers to encourage reproducibility and research integrity.

Why Open Peer Review?

Our journals implement Open Peer Review as part of our commitment to transparency, accountability, and high-quality scholarship. This model offers several advantages:

• Transparency: Reviewer identities and reports are disclosed, reducing bias and ensuring fair evaluation.
• Constructive Dialogue: Authors and reviewers can engage in open academic discussion, fostering collaboration.
• Accountability: By making review reports available, the process maintains higher ethical and scholarly standards.
• Recognition for Reviewers: Reviewers receive visible credit for their intellectual contributions.
• Improved Research Quality: Open feedback enhances the rigor, reproducibility, and reliability of published work.

By adopting this model, we align with global best practices in scholarly communication and support the principles of open science.
