Editorial Governance & Standards
Editorial Independence
EP Journals Group maintains strict editorial independence in all publication decisions. Editorial decisions are based solely on the academic merit, originality, and scholarly contribution of submitted manuscripts. The organisation does not permit commercial or political considerations to influence editorial judgements. Editors act impartially and recuse themselves from decisions in which they have a conflict of interest. The publisher does not intervene in editorial decisions and respects the autonomy of journal editors in matters of content selection.
Editorial Board Structure
Each journal within the EP Journals Group portfolio is supported by an Editorial Board comprising scholars with demonstrated expertise in the relevant discipline. All board members are accorded equal standing and participate collectively in upholding the standards of their respective journals. The organisation does not employ hierarchical editorial structures that concentrate decision-making authority in a single individual. This approach ensures that editorial decisions benefit from diverse perspectives and collective scholarly judgement.
Peer Review Process
All manuscripts submitted to EP Journals Group publications undergo rigorous double-blind peer review. A minimum of two independent reviewers with relevant subject expertise evaluate each submission. Reviewers assess manuscripts for originality, methodological soundness, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field. The review process typically requires four to six weeks from initial submission to editorial decision. Reviewers are expected to provide fair, constructive, and timely assessments. The double-blind model ensures that neither authors nor reviewers are aware of each other's identities, promoting objectivity and impartiality in the evaluation process.
Publication Standards & Ethical Compliance
Publication Ethics
EP Journals Group is committed to maintaining the highest standards of publication ethics. The organisation follows the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and expects all authors, reviewers, and editors to adhere to these principles. Allegations of misconduct, including plagiarism, data fabrication, and duplicate submission, are investigated thoroughly and may result in manuscript rejection, article retraction, or other appropriate sanctions. The publisher maintains documented procedures for handling allegations of misconduct and follows COPE flowcharts for investigating and responding to such concerns.

All published articles are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) through CrossRef, providing permanent, stable links to published content. DOIs ensure that articles can be located and cited reliably, even if the journal's web address changes in the future.
