Editorial Policies

• Peer Review

  Submissions are screened by an editor and, when suitable, reviewed by at least two independent reviewers using a double-anonymous process. The editor is responsible for the final decision.

• Publication Ethics

  Authors, editors, and reviewers must act honestly, confidentially, fairly, and without manipulation. Suspected misconduct will be assessed objectively and documented appropriately.

• Originality and Plagiarism

  Submissions must be original and properly cited. Similarity reports support editorial judgment and do not replace careful assessment of context, quotation, attribution, and duplication.

• Conflicts of Interest

  Authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose relationships or interests that could influence the research, review, or editorial decision.

• Generative AI

  AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Any material use of generative AI must be disclosed. Authors remain responsible for accuracy, originality, confidentiality, and citations.

• Corrections and Retractions

  Errors or integrity concerns may result in a correction, expression of concern, or retraction. Notices will remain linked to the published article.

• Open Access and Copyright

  Authors retain copyright and grant NURANI first-publication rights. CC BY 4.0 is proposed and must be formally approved before activation.

• Fees

  Article fee policy: to be confirmed by the publisher. No undisclosed fee may be charged.
