Abstract

The integrity of scholarly publishing rests on a shared commitment to trust, transparency, and the responsible stewardship of editorial and peer-review resources. Within this system, editors, reviewers, and readers must be assured that every manuscript submitted for consideration is original, is not under review elsewhere, and is accompanied by full disclosure of any related scholarly work. These expectations are not merely administrative requirements; they constitute the ethical infrastructure through which research acquires credibility, becomes part of the scholarly record, and informs academic, institutional, and policy deliberation.
