Editorial Management

Academic editorial management is led by the Editor-in-Chief with support from the Managing Editor and qualified Academic Editors. The Editorial Team evaluates manuscript suitability, coordinates peer review, assesses revisions, applies editorial policies, and makes scholarly publication decisions.

Editorial responsibilities are exercised according to the journal's Aims & Scope, peer-review procedures, publication ethics, conflict-of-interest requirements, and principles of scholarly independence.

Editorial Independence
Principle of Independence
Editorial decisions concerning manuscript acceptance, revision, rejection, reviewer selection, and scholarly evaluation are made independently by qualified members of the Editorial Team. The publisher does not determine manuscript outcomes on the basis of commercial, financial, personal, institutional, or other non-scholarly considerations.

Editorial decisions are based on originality, scholarly merit, methodological rigor, relevance to ABIM's scope, ethical compliance, research integrity, peer-review evidence, quality of presentation, and overall scholarly contribution.

Separation of Financial & Editorial Decisions

Article Processing Charges, institutional relationships, sponsorship, partnerships, advertising, or other financial considerations must not influence editorial evaluation or publication decisions.

An Article Processing Charge applies only after a manuscript has completed the journal's editorial and peer-review process and has received final acceptance for publication in accordance with the ABIM APC policy.

Peer Review Governance

ABIM applies a double-anonymous peer-review process. Manuscripts proceeding to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent reviewers selected according to scholarly expertise, methodological competence, independence, availability, and conflict-of-interest considerations.

Reviewers provide scholarly assessments and recommendations, while final editorial responsibility remains with the authorized editor handling the manuscript.

Conflicts of Interest

Editors, reviewers, authors, and other participants in the publication process are expected to disclose relevant conflicts of interest that could reasonably influence or appear to influence professional judgment.

Where an editor has a personal, professional, institutional, financial, collaborative, or other significant conflict involving a manuscript, the manuscript must be reassigned to another suitably qualified and independent editor.

Management & Technical Support

Administrative, copyediting, indexing, production, metadata, and OJS technical functions support journal operations but remain distinct from independent academic editorial decision-making.

Academic Editorial Roles
Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editor, and Academic Editors

Scholarly Review
Independent peer reviewers selected according to manuscript subject and methodological requirements

Editorial & Production Support
Copyediting, indexing, production, metadata, and OJS technical support
Transparency & Accountability

ABIM maintains transparent information regarding journal ownership, editorial governance, peer review, publication ethics, fees, licensing, copyright, contact information, and journal policies.

The journal periodically reviews its governance and management arrangements as part of continuing efforts to strengthen editorial quality, publication integrity, international scholarly standards, and responsible journal development.
