How We Publish

Publication responsibility rests with our editorial board and community reviewers, who make acceptance or rejection decisions and have the independence to determine the direction of research.

SEPR was founded by scientists, and its focus will always be on empowering researchers throughout the publication process. SEPR is guided and reviewed by active researchers who are experts in their fields and appointed to editorial boards according to rigorous selection criteria. The journal's strong representation of the research community ensures that the direction of science is shaped collectively and collaboratively.

All articles we publish undergo peer review, and the names of the responsible editor and reviewers appear in the final publication. Including the names of reviewers alongside the authors ensures accountability, lends credibility to the quality of peer review, and provides an opportunity to appreciate their dedication and contributions.

We are in continuous collaboration with our editors to remain true to our mission, maintain our standards, and operate in accordance with our values.

We want researchers to leverage the latest technology to validate and disseminate their findings. Using software tools enables us to deliver a rigorous, fast, and efficient service. This also allows our editors to focus on scientific content and improve articles during peer review.

Publication decisions at SEPR are guided by clear acceptance and rejection criteria during a single, anonymized, rigorous peer review process. Publication independence of acceptance decisions is ensured through the involvement of external experts as editors and reviewers. Our in-house publishing experts quality control and monitor the process, can reject articles at any point during evaluation, and approve final publication decisions to ensure compliance with our quality standards and policies.

SEPR and its editorial boards are structured to ensure rigor and publication of high-quality research, as well as to foster collaboration and future growth. We recognize the potential impact of published research on both future research and society.

SEPR implements procedures to support and ensure the quality of published research articles.
