Editors are responsible for supervising the quality of the published content, including the significance, originality, scientific soundness, clarity, and completeness of the title, as well as its relevance to the readership. Editors should also consider whether the research involves ethical issues and whether the publication of the article may harm the interests of readers or the public. It is of paramount importance that editorial decisions remain steadfastly impartial and uninfluenced by the source of the paper, regardless of factors such as the author’s nationality, ethnicity, political affiliations, race, or religion.
Editors will collaborate with in-house editors from the Editorial Offices to explore and cultivate emerging and significant subjects, actively seek in-depth and comprehensive research or review papers, conduct a timely and rigorous peer-review process, and diligently foster the journal’s visibility within the scientific community. We eagerly anticipate the development of these journals into influential platforms for the facilitation of scientific discourse and scholarly publishing.
As the leader, the Editor-in-Chief constitutes the very essence and nucleus of the journal. Their pivotal roles encompass the establishment of the journal’s Editorial Board team and the guidance they provide in shaping the journal's strategic course and trajectory. Editors-in-Chief actively participate in all facets of journal management, upholding its elevated standards. They convene the Editorial team, coordinating the annual Editorial Board meeting (online or offline) to deliberate upon and advance the journal’s undertakings. The Editorial Office will assist in all the above activities. The Editor-in-Chief’s tenure spans a period of five years. We extend a cordial invitation to distinguished senior scientists who embody qualities of leadership, impact, activity, and a keen interest in the realm of scholarly publishing to consider applying for the esteemed position of Editor-in-Chief.
