Editors are entrusted with upholding the reputation of their respective journals by ensuring the publication of high-quality and relevant content in a timely and responsible manner. They are responsible for maintaining the journal’s mission and scope, selecting manuscripts that offer novel, unique, and significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge.
Editors must safeguard the integrity of the published literature by issuing errata, corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern when necessary, ensuring that any critical updates or amendments are addressed promptly.
It is imperative that editors familiarize themselves with and adhere to the guidelines and ethical policies set forth by Academic Square Journals throughout all editorial processes. They are expected to operate in full compliance with the publisher’s policy framework and execute their responsibilities with the utmost integrity.
Editors should conduct a rigorous, objective, and confidential peer-review process for original manuscript submissions that pass the initial quality assessment, in strict accordance with Academic Square Journals guidelines and the journal’s ethical policies. Furthermore, they should proactively recommend pertinent and impactful topics to be covered by the journal, thereby contributing to its continued growth and relevance. Editors must also strive to ensure transparency in the review and publication process while treating all authors with fairness and respect.
Additionally, editors should provide guidance and, where appropriate, offer explanations and updates to authors throughout the submission process and following the final editorial decision.
