Editorial Independence

The editorial process of the International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Phytopharmacological Research is conducted with full independence under the authority of the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board. The journal maintains complete autonomy over all editorial decisions, including manuscript evaluation, peer review management, and publication outcomes.

Editorial decisions are based solely on scholarly merit, scientific rigor, originality, ethical standards, and relevance to the journal's scope. While decisions are informed by peer-review reports and editorial assessments, they are not determined solely by reviewer recommendations and are made in accordance with the journal's Peer Review Policy.
