Appointment, Term, Renewal and Removal

Editorial appointments at HUMANIKA should be based on relevant academic expertise, professional experience, ethical conduct, and the ability to fulfil the responsibilities associated with the role.

Appointments should follow the publisher's applicable procedures and the journal's approved governance arrangements. Terms of service, renewal criteria, and procedures for resignation or removal should be communicated clearly to editorial personnel.

Renewal may consider academic contribution, participation in editorial activities, adherence to ethical standards, and the journal's evolving needs.

Removal or replacement may be considered in cases of sustained non-performance, serious ethical violations, undisclosed competing interests, misuse of confidential information, or other circumstances that undermine editorial integrity. Any action should follow a fair, documented, and appropriate institutional process.
