Editorial Independence
The editors review submitted manuscripts solely on the basis of their academic merit (peer-review and as specified in the guidelines) and its relevance to the journal’s mission and scope, without regard to the authors’ race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, citizenship, religious belief, political philosophy or institutional affiliation.
The decision to edit and publish a given contribution is not determined by the policies of governments or any other agencies outside of the journal itself. The Editor-in-Chief has full authority over the entire editorial content of the journal and the timing of publication of that content.
Authors, reviewers, and editors should provide pertinent disclaimers regarding grant support, monetary endorsements, the originality of their work, or their qualifications to publish, review, and provide useful feedback.
Non-AI publisher: Manuscripts found to contain AI generated content are rejected. Equally, IJE editors and reviewers monitor our published content against AI reproduction.
Deadlines for returned manuscripts and for imminent publication will be clearly communicated to authors and reviewers.
