EDITORIAL STANDARDS
Trust begins with explaining how a publication came to be.
Editorial consideration
The editorial desk considers subject fit, originality, clarity, quality of reasoning, traceability of evidence and the rights needed to publish. Submission is an invitation to consider the work, not a promise of acceptance.
Review status
Editorial review and external peer review are different processes. Initial contributions receive editorial consideration. We do not describe a manuscript as peer reviewed unless an appropriate external review has actually been completed and documented. We do not claim indexing, accreditation or an impact factor.
Independence and disclosure
Authors should disclose funding, financial interests and relationships relevant to their work. Any sponsored or commissioned material must be clearly labelled. Payment for an optional editing or production service does not purchase an editorial decision or an endorsement.
Corrections and concerns
If you identify a substantive error, plagiarism, a rights issue or an undisclosed conflict, send the publication title, link and supporting details to the editorial desk. Concerns will be considered on their merits. Material corrections should carry an explanatory note; serious reliability problems may require withdrawal with an explanation.
Author responsibility
Authors are responsible for their claims, sources, permissions and disclosures. Publication does not imply that InquiryScope Press or its owner endorses every conclusion. Individual publications should make their evidence and limitations clear.
Respectful discussion
We welcome reasoned disagreement. Personal abuse, discriminatory content, fabricated evidence and private information shared without a proper basis do not belong in this publication.
