01
Accountable editorial decisions
Roles, decision authority, documented reasons, escalation paths, and appeals handling are being defined before any journal program opens.
Editorial framework · In preparation
Editorial standards before journal launch.
NiviScholar is designing the governance, review, decision, and record-keeping standards that future journal programs must meet before they are presented to authors as active publication routes.
Governance dossier
Policy should describe the work that actually happens.
The public standard will follow verified operating capability. It will distinguish responsibilities clearly, preserve editorial independence, and make corrections or disputes traceable.
02
Independent assessment
Reviewer selection, confidentiality, competing-interest checks, and editorial oversight are being specified as auditable operating rules.
03
Durable scholarly records
Version history, corrections, withdrawals, authorship changes, and integrity concerns will follow documented record-keeping procedures.
Readiness sequence
The controls being established before launch.
A preparation document, not a live-journal claim
