How long does peer review take?

Most manuscripts receive a first editorial decision within 4–6 weeks. Timelines vary by discipline and reviewer availability; status updates appear in your OJS author dashboard.

Which copyright licence do you use?

Articles are published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). Authors retain copyright and grant the press a non-exclusive licence to publish and distribute the work.
