Editorial Policies
All articles are subject to blind peer review by a minimum of two expert reviewers drawn primarily from the applicable journal's editorial board. Editorial decisions are made by independent editors in chief or associate editors. The editorial process to this first editorial decision takes three to four weeks following acceptance of each paper for peer review.
In the open access business model many editorial decisions result in a fee payment to the publisher. Because of this we maintain a strict distinction between editorial decisions, made by editors in chief or associate editors, and business decisions. Libertas does not make nor attempt to influence editorial decisions. Editorial decision makers receive no incentives to make decisions leading to fee payments.
The journal is committed to high standards of integrity. Authors are required to confirm their compliance with ethical and legal requirements upon submission. Prior to publication all authors must provide signed confirmation of compliance. Where concerns arise the journal will apply the Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines on ethical matters.
Frequency of Publication
Articles are published upon completion of production.
