Editorial Policies
Dynamic Computing is committed to maintaining the highest standards of editorial quality, transparency, fairness, and academic integrity. The journal follows internationally accepted principles of scholarly publishing to ensure that all editorial decisions are based solely on the scientific merit, originality, and relevance of submitted manuscripts.
Editorial Independence
The Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board have full responsibility and independence in making editorial decisions. Editorial decisions are not influenced by commercial interests, sponsors, institutional affiliations, or external organisations. Every manuscript is evaluated objectively based on its academic quality and contribution to the field.
Editorial Decision Criteria
Editorial decisions are based on several important considerations, including:
- Originality and novelty of the research.
- Scientific and technical quality.
- Relevance to the aims and scope of the journal.
- Methodological soundness.
- Quality of data analysis and interpretation.
- Clarity, organisation, and presentation.
- Compliance with ethical publishing standards.
- Recommendations provided by independent peer reviewers.
Editorial Responsibilities
The Editorial Team is responsible for maintaining the quality and integrity of the journal. Editors are expected to:
- Evaluate submissions fairly and impartially.
- Maintain confidentiality throughout the editorial process.
- Ensure an unbiased and timely peer-review process.
- Prevent conflicts of interest from influencing editorial decisions.
- Promote ethical research and responsible publication practices.
- Take appropriate action in cases of suspected research or publication misconduct.
Confidentiality
Editors and editorial staff shall treat all submitted manuscripts as confidential documents. Information contained within a submission will not be disclosed to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, editorial advisers, or the publisher as appropriate during the editorial process.
Conflict of Interest
Editors shall avoid handling manuscripts in which they have any financial, professional, institutional, or personal conflict of interest. In such cases, responsibility for handling the manuscript will be assigned to another qualified editor to ensure an impartial editorial process.
Fairness and Non-Discrimination
Editorial decisions are made without discrimination based on nationality, ethnicity, gender, religion, political beliefs, institutional affiliation, seniority, or geographic location. Every manuscript is evaluated solely on its academic merit.
Research Integrity
The journal expects submitted manuscripts to represent original research conducted according to recognised scientific and ethical standards. Editors may request additional information, supporting data, or ethical approval documentation whenever necessary.
Corrections and Retractions
If significant errors, ethical concerns, or research misconduct are identified after publication, the journal will take appropriate action, including publishing corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions in accordance with internationally accepted publishing practices.
Appeals Against Editorial Decisions
Authors who believe that an editorial decision was made in error may submit a reasoned appeal to the Editor-in-Chief. Appeals should clearly explain the grounds for reconsideration and provide supporting evidence where appropriate. All appeals will be reviewed objectively, and the final decision of the Editor-in-Chief will be communicated to the corresponding author.
Editorial Confidentiality
All editorial correspondence, reviewer reports, and author communications are handled confidentially. Reviewer identities are protected throughout the peer-review process in accordance with the journal's double-blind review policy.
Commitment to Quality
Dynamic Computing is committed to publishing scientifically rigorous, ethically conducted, and impactful research that contributes to the advancement of computing and information technologies. The Editorial Board continually works to maintain high editorial standards and promote excellence in scholarly communication.
