Archiving & Digital Preservation
The journal is committed to the long-term preservation
and accessibility of all published scholarly content. Published articles are

Pre- and Post-Prints
Authors may deposit the preprint, accepted manuscript,
and published Version of Record in institutional or subject repositories
without embargo, provided that appropriate citation and a link to the published
article are included.
Editorial Endogeny
Editorial endogeny is monitored
to maintain editorial independence and diversity. The proportion of research
articles authored by editors, editorial board members, or reviewers is kept
within recognized best-practice limits and does not exceed 25% in either of
the latest two issues.
Special Issues and Guest Editors
Special Issues follow the same editorial, ethical,
authorship, and peer-review standards as regular issues. The Editor-in-Chief
retains final responsibility for all published content. Guest editors are
selected based on relevant expertise and approved by the Editor-in-Chief.
Manuscripts submitted by guest editors are handled and independently reviewed
by an editor without a conflict of interest and must not constitute more than
25% of the Special Issue. Special Issues are clearly identified on the journal
website and in the published issue.
