Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

REDSA applies standards of quality, independence, transparency, impartiality, and confidentiality in manuscript management. Editorial decisions are based on thematic relevance, originality, methodological rigor, clarity, ethical integrity, and scientific contribution.

Editorial independence

Acceptance or rejection decisions are made exclusively by the editorial team and are not conditioned by commercial, institutional, personal, or financial relationships. Editorial charges, when applicable, are requested only after acceptance and do not guarantee or influence the outcome of evaluation.

Originality

Manuscripts must be original, unpublished, and not simultaneously submitted elsewhere. REDSA performs similarity checks and qualitatively assesses matches, citation practices, and possible plagiarism or redundant publication.

Authorship and contributions

Only individuals who made substantial contributions, participated in revision, and approved the final version should be listed as authors. All authors share responsibility for content integrity. Contributions, funding, and conflicts of interest must be disclosed.

Editorial decisions

Possible decisions are desk rejection, peer review, minor revision, major revision, acceptance, or rejection. The journal may correct, withdraw, or retract content when supported by documented grounds.

Content responsibility

Opinions, interpretations, and conclusions are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent REDSA, its editorial team, or its publisher.
