Journal policy

Sciencelet-hosted journals operate under clear editorial policies. The dedicated pages below expand on plagiarism, ethics, corrections and retractions, competing interests, and charges. They are written to align with widely accepted practice and COPE guidance; the journal you submit to remains the authoritative source for any journal-specific rules.

Overview

Peer review is managed by the journal's editors; decisions are based on scientific merit and fit. Authors are expected to disclose conflicts of interest and funding as required. Corrections, retractions, and appeals follow the procedures described in the policies linked above. Data sharing, ethics approvals, and human or animal research standards must be met before acceptance.

Individual journals may publish supplementary information (open access, licensing, preprints, etc.) on their public pages—always refer to the journal you submit to when in doubt.
