Editorial Independence

The Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board operate independently of the publisher and its management. Editorial decisions are based solely on academic merit and peer review. Editorial independence is a core principle of JCE. All editorial decisions—including acceptance, revision, or rejection of manuscripts—are made solely by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board. The publisher does not influence these decisions in any way.

The journal adheres to a transparent, rigorous peer review process. Manuscripts are evaluated on the basis of academic merit, originality, and relevance, without interference from the publisher. Reviewers are independent experts in their fields, and the Editor-in-Chief makes final decisions based on their recommendations.

The Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board operate autonomously and are responsible for all editorial policies, including peer review guidelines, ethical standards, and publication decisions.

All members of the Editorial Board have identified their affiliated institutions or organizations, along with the corresponding country or geographic region. SWOT remains neutral with regard to any jurisdictional claims.
