Editorial Board

Comprising about a dozen internationally recognized specialists for their expertise, it is placed under the responsibility of the editor-in-chief. The editorial board is responsible for the scheduling of the journal's issues, in conjunction with the scientific committee. It defines the content and the editorial calendar of the journal, invites scientific coordinators for dossiers, collaborates with them in the selection of proposed articles, organizes their evaluation, and validates revised versions. In case of divergent opinions among the reviewers or if there persists a doubt impeding arbitration, it may request additional opinions.

The editorial board selects articles with a strong emphasis on impartiality. It pays particular attention to articles contributing to scientific discourse. Any article presenting a relevant critique of another article published in the journal may be published. Moreover, any author may provide a response to a critique published in the journal against their article.

Authors' articles are selected based solely on their scientific and intellectual quality, without distinction of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, nationality, university affiliation, or political stance. The editorial board takes into account, in its decisions, legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, or plagiarism.
