The journal is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all authors, reviewers, editors, and readers.

Any personal information collected during manuscript submission, peer review, and publication processes—including names, institutional affiliations, email addresses, and other contact details—is used exclusively for editorial and publishing operations of the journal.

This information is accessible only to authorized individuals involved in the editorial workflow, including editors, reviewers, and technical support staff, as required for the management of the publication process.
