Editorial Independence
Academic Merit
Manuscripts are evaluated according to their originality, scientific quality, methodology and contribution to the journal’s scope.
Independent Decisions
Editorial and peer-review decisions are made independently of any financial consideration.
Equal Opportunity
The absence of author fees supports participation by researchers regardless of institution, country or financial resources.
Funding of Publication Activities
The costs associated with the editorial management and online publication of IJSPES are supported by the journal and its publisher, IMCRA – International Meetings and Conferences Research Association.
Authors are therefore not required to obtain an APC waiver, submit a fee exemption request or provide financial information during the submission process.
