The Role of the Boards

The editor of Archives of Epilepsy is committed to serving the needs of both readers and authors, continuously working to improve the journal and to ensure a fair and appropriate peer-review process. The editor is responsible for selecting the articles that meet the standards and objectives of the journal and must follow policies in line with legal requirements concerning libel, copyright, and plagiarism. In making publication decisions, the editor may consult with reviewers to discuss relevant policies, procedures, and responsibilities. The editor upholds the quality and integrity of the publication as a whole.

Members of the editorial board contribute to the advancement of scholarly work in the specialized field of epilepsy. In this capacity, they encourage authors to contribute high-quality research and ensure that submitted articles are evaluated objectively. Standards are upheld to ensure peer reviews are scientifically constructive and supportive of the field’s academic growth.

Consequently, all articles submitted to the journal are reviewed without bias.

The editor maintains confidentiality regarding submissions, only sharing information about submitted articles with editorial staff, reviewers, and the publisher.

Archives of Epilepsy enforces strict policies to prevent any conflicts of interest between authors, reviewers, and editors. Any unpublished information within a submission is protected and may not be used without the author's explicit written consent.

Authors are expected to promptly notify the journal’s editors or publisher of any significant errors or inaccuracies discovered post-publication and work with them to correct or retract the article as necessary. If the editors or publisher become aware of an issue in a published article, the authors must either correct or retract the work or provide evidence of the article’s accuracy.

The Advisory Board plays a vital role in establishing and maintaining the journal's editorial policies, aiming to uphold the highest scientific standards in epilepsy research.

Members of the editorial and scientific advisory boards do not participate in the peer-review process to maintain objective evaluations.

To ensure impartiality, Archives of Epilepsy will assign an external editor to handle articles authored by individuals from its editorial board. An "external editor" refers to a selected expert from the advisory board who possesses specialized knowledge in the article's subject area.
