Indexing status

Not yet listed in a database This journal is not currently listed in DOAJ, PubMed or Scopus. No ISSN or DOI prefix has been assigned yet; applications are in progress. Every article is permanently open access under CC BY 4.0.

We state this plainly because authors deserve to know before they submit. Every article is published under CC BY 4.0 so it can be read, cited and archived anywhere, at no charge to authors or readers.

Questions authors ask

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no submission fee, no article processing charge, no page or colour charge, and no fee to withdraw. Publication is free for every author regardless of country or funding.

Who owns the copyright?

You do. Articles are published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. You keep copyright; anyone may read and reuse the work with attribution.

Who reviews my manuscript?

At least two independent reviewers under double-anonymous review, overseen by a named editor. Reviewers do not know who you are and you do not know who they are.

How long does review take?

Times vary by manuscript and reviewer availability. We do not promise a turnaround we cannot guarantee. Your editor will tell you where your manuscript stands at each stage.

Will my article get a DOI?

The journal is newly established. An ISSN application and Crossref registration are in progress; persistent identifiers will be assigned once those are complete. Articles are permanently open access from the day they are published.

What if my manuscript is rejected elsewhere?

We consider sound, well-reported work that other journals may decline for reasons of novelty or fee. We assess methods and reporting, not perceived impact.
