DORA Statement

This journal endorses the principles of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and is committed to responsible and transparent research evaluation practices.

We emphasize that research should be assessed based on its intrinsic merit, including originality, methodological rigor, and contribution to the field, rather than relying solely on journal-based metrics such as the Journal Impact Factor.

Editorial decisions are grounded in a rigorous peer-review process that evaluates the scientific validity, relevance, and significance of submitted manuscripts.

The journal promotes the responsible use of a variety of research assessment indicators, including qualitative evaluation and article-level metrics, to ensure a fair, balanced, and transparent assessment of scholarly work.
