Editorial Independence

The Editor-in-Chief and authorized editors are responsible for managing peer review and making editorial decisions within their assigned authority. Potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed and managed in accordance with the journal's policies. Where an editor has a relevant conflict, the manuscript should be handled by an appropriately independent editor.
