In line with Afarand’s guidelines for protecting the responsibility and authority of editors-in-chief and journal owners, the following principles are upheld:

  • The terms of the editor-in-chief’s appointment, including authority, responsibilities, duration, and conflict resolution mechanisms, are clearly defined and mutually agreed upon before appointment.
  • Editors-in-chief maintain full authority over the journal’s editorial content, ensuring editorial independence. Owners do not interfere in the evaluation, selection, or editing of manuscripts, either directly or indirectly.
  • Editorial decisions are based on the validity, quality, and relevance of the work for readers, rather than on the journal’s commercial interests.
  • Editors are free to express critical yet responsible perspectives on education and related fields without fear of retribution, even if these views do not align with the publisher’s commercial objectives.
  • To maintain impartiality, editors seek input from peer reviewers, editorial staff, the editorial board, and readers.
  • Procedures are in place to prevent commercial or personal conflicts of interest from influencing editorial decisions.
  • Owners retain the right to appoint or dismiss editors-in-chief but may do so only for substantial reasons, such as consistent irresponsible editorial practices, proven scientific misconduct, serious disagreements with the journal’s long-term editorial vision, or personal misconduct incompatible with the position of trust. Such decisions must be based on evaluations conducted by independent experts, not solely by internal executives.
  • Editors-in-chief report directly to the highest governing body of the owning organization, rather than administrative officers. Major decisions regarding editorial appointments are made transparently, with opportunities for input from all relevant stakeholders.
  • Editors are committed to resisting any actions that compromise these principles, even if doing so risks their position. In the event of major violations, editors are obligated to bring such issues to the attention of the international academic community.
