What we collect
Account registration details, manuscript metadata and files, editorial correspondence, contact-form messages, and technical logs needed for security and reliability. Reviewer identity is handled according to the review model and is not disclosed where anonymity is required.
How we use data
Data are used to operate submission and editorial workflows, communicate with authors and reviewers, publish accepted articles, respond to enquiries, improve platform security, and meet legal obligations.
Cookies and analytics
The site may use cookies or analytics tools when configured (for example privacy-respecting analytics). These are used for aggregate usage understanding and service improvement, not to sell personal data.
