Publication Ethics

Submitting authors confirm that the manuscript is original, accurately presented, and not under consideration elsewhere unless transfer is explicitly documented.

All listed authors must have made a genuine scholarly contribution and approve the submitted version and any subsequent revision.

Editors evaluate submissions for scope, ethical fit, conflicts of interest, and review readiness before moving a manuscript into peer review.

Potential concerns are escalated through auditable editorial actions so that the publication record remains traceable over time.

Corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions are handled as controlled record updates rather than silent edits.

Lumina Academic Publishing preserves history, version lineage, and auditable governance for every major editorial action.
