Editors' Responsibilities

Elicit Publishing House is dedicated to fostering groundbreaking research and transforming latent knowledge into explicit, actionable insights. As custodians of academic integrity, the editors of Elicit Journals are entrusted with the following key responsibilities:

1. Impartial Evaluation:
Elicit Journals uphold an unwavering commitment to impartiality. Every manuscript submitted undergoes an unbiased review process, assessed solely on its quality, originality, and relevance to research. Factors such as the author’s race, gender, nationality, institutional affiliation, or other personal characteristics have no bearing on the evaluation process.

2. Rigorous Manuscript Review Process:
Editors are tasked with conducting an initial desk review to evaluate each manuscript's originality and alignment with the journal’s objectives. Advanced plagiarism detection software and originality checks are employed during this stage. Following this preliminary assessment, manuscripts are forwarded to the editorial review board for a rigorous double-blind peer review, ensuring thorough and fair evaluation.

3. Informed Editorial Decisions:
The editor makes the final decision regarding the acceptance, rejection, or revision of manuscripts, informed by comprehensive peer review reports. These decisions are rooted in a transparent and well-documented process, prioritizing academic rigor and the advancement of knowledge.

4. Upholding Quality and Integrity:
Editors bear the critical responsibility of ensuring that all published manuscripts meet the highest standards of academic excellence. They are vigilant in safeguarding the integrity of the academic record and are committed to promoting ethical research practices throughout the publication process.

5. Consistency and Accountability:
Editorial decisions are considered final and are not subject to reversal or override by subsequent editors without substantial and justifiable reasons. This consistency reinforces the journal's credibility and trustworthiness in the academic community.

6. Confidentiality and Professional Ethics:
Editors are responsible for maintaining strict confidentiality concerning all information related to submitted manuscripts. They ensure that proprietary information and unpublished data remain secure and are used solely for the intended editorial purposes.

At Elicit Publishing House, our editors are not merely gatekeepers but catalysts for innovation, driving the discovery and dissemination of novel and impactful research. Their steadfast dedication to editorial excellence ensures that Elicit Journals remain a trusted platform for pioneering academic contributions.
