Resources & Support for Editors

Safeguarding Scholarly Integrity

Editors must ensure that only authentic, relevant, and rigorously prepared manuscripts are published. When errors or ethical concerns arise, they are expected to respond responsibly by issuing corrections, retractions, or notices of concern to preserve the trustworthiness of the academic record.

Commitment to Ethical Publishing

Editorial decisions must reflect fairness, clarity, and strict adherence to Confseries ethical guidelines. Editors are entrusted to act without bias while maintaining transparency and accountability at every stage of the process.

Strengthening the Review Process

A structured and impartial peer review is central to quality publishing. Editors are responsible for selecting qualified reviewers, ensuring confidentiality, and securing constructive, timely feedback that contributes to manuscript refinement.

Transparent Collaboration

Editors should foster open communication with authors, reviewers, and the wider editorial team. Keeping all parties informed about review progress, decisions, and publication timelines helps build trust and ensures a seamless editorial workflow.

Guiding the Journal's Future

Beyond routine responsibilities, editors are encouraged to actively shape the journal's trajectory - by proposing special editions, highlighting emerging research areas, and strengthening the journal's global reach and scholarly impact.

Editorial Vision

At Confseries, editors are more than evaluators - they are visionaries who uphold scholarly values and ensure the publication of impactful, high-quality research that aligns with the journal's mission. Through clarity, responsibility, and innovation, editors play a pivotal role in advancing research excellence and ethical publishing.
