Policies
Research Integrity
We adhere to the best practices in the ethics of scholarly publishing stated in the COPE’s (Committee on Publication Ethics) Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for all parties involved: Authors, Reviewers and the Publisher. If you have questions or concerns regarding research integrity or publishing ethics in this journal, you may contact the editor.
Reviewing Policy
Passion is committed to reviewing papers fairly and impartially. We proceed in various stages. First, papers are initially evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief. Second, papers are evaluated by associate editors. Third, papers are sent for double blind peer review. Papers might be rejected during any stage of this process.
Special Issue Policy
Special issues are prepared following a special issue proposal from guest editors to the editors-in-chief who will accept or not after consulting with the associate editors.
All special issue papers are initially read by an editor-in-chief to check if they are suitable for the journal. If so, the papers are forwarded to the special issues editors who act as associate editors for the paper. The special issues editors then act in the same way as associate editors do for normal submissions: they find referees to review the papers and then make a decision on the basis of at least two referee reports.
When a guest editor submits to a special issue, their paper is handled by the editor-in-chief and an associate editor for the journal. If no conflict of interest is present and the issue is edited by multiple guest editors, another guest editor will serve as associate editor for this paper.
Editors-in-chief, associate editors and guest editors must all declare conflicts of interest. When these are declared, the relevant papers will be handled by other members of the editorial team.
Editorial introductions are not peer reviewed but are reviewed by an editor-in-chief.
