Editorial Independence

HUMANIKA is committed to editorial independence in the evaluation and publication of scholarly work. Editorial decisions should be based on originality, methodological rigor, scholarly significance, relevance to the journal's scope, and compliance with ethical standards.

The publisher, sponsors, institutional stakeholders, and other parties should not improperly influence the acceptance, rejection, review, or interpretation of individual manuscripts.

Editors must be able to make decisions without inappropriate pressure relating to an author's institutional affiliation, professional status, personal relationships, commercial interests, or the potential reputational implications of a manuscript.

Concerns about interference in editorial decision-making should be addressed through appropriate governance and accountability procedures.
