Principle
Editorial decisions at IJAREST are based solely on a manuscript’s scientific merit, originality, clarity and relevance to the journal’s scope. They are never influenced by the authors’ nationality, institution, gender, beliefs, or by commercial or political considerations.
Separation of editorial and business functions
- The publisher manages operations and payments but does not take part in acceptance decisions.
- Publication charges are requested only after acceptance, so payment can never influence a decision.
- Advertising, sponsorship or partnerships carry no editorial control.
Handling conflicts
Editors and reviewers must recuse themselves from manuscripts where they have a conflict of interest. Submissions from editors, board members or reviewers are handled under the Editorial Submissions Policy.
Concerns
Authors may appeal a decision or raise concerns by writing to editor@ijarest.org with the Paper ID and reasons.
