Information we collect

Published contributions may include author names, affiliations, identifiers, funding information and other information supplied for publication.

Website and security systems may record technical information, such as an IP address, browser or device information, pages requested and the time of access. Please provide only information needed for the relevant activity.

How information is used

Information is used to administer accounts; receive and assess submissions; arrange editorial decisions and peer review; communicate with authors, reviewers and editors; prepare and publish content; maintain the scholarly record; respond to enquiries; and operate and protect the website. Where a user chooses to receive journal notifications, contact information may also be used for those notifications.

Information needed to register, manage a manuscript or carry out a review is required for that activity. Optional profile details and notification choices can be managed through the account settings or by contacting the editorial office.

Editorial confidentiality and publication

Unpublished manuscripts, editorial correspondence and review materials are made available to editors, reviewers and others involved in the relevant editorial or publishing work as needed for their roles. The handling of reviewer identities follows the journal’s peer review policy and any applicable disclosure obligations.

When an article is published, its author names, affiliations and other publication details become part of the public scholarly record. Bibliographic information may be supplied to services that register identifiers, preserve content or index and disseminate publications. Information included in a published article may remain publicly available through copies held by other services.

Sharing and external services

Personal information may be shared with people and organisations supporting journal operations, including editors, reviewers, publishing and technical service providers, and relevant scholarly infrastructure services, as needed for their work. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or to address a legal or security matter. External websites and services have their own privacy notices.

Cookies and technical information

The website uses cookies or similar technologies to support functions such as signing in and maintaining a session. Depending on the services enabled, technical information may also be used for website operation, security or usage statistics. Browser settings can be used to manage cookies; disabling those needed for the site may affect its operation.

Retention and security

Information is retained for the time needed for the relevant editorial, publishing, security, legal and record-keeping purposes. The period depends on the type of information, whether it forms part of a submission or published record, applicable obligations and the need to resolve disputes or maintain research integrity. Published scholarly records and their metadata may need to be retained for the integrity of the publication record.

Access to information is managed according to the responsibilities of those involved in operating the journal. Technical and organisational measures are used to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

International processing

Editors, reviewers, service providers and scholarly infrastructure services may be located in different countries. Information may therefore be accessed or processed outside your country. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, the relevant requirements apply. You may contact us for further information about the handling of your data.

You may request access to or correction of personal information, ask about its use or raise a concern. Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may also be able to request deletion, restriction or portability, object to processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or complain to a relevant supervisory authority. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully. These rights may be subject to conditions and exceptions, including those relating to the published scholarly record.

Some account information and notification preferences can be updated by signing in. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and will explain any applicable limitation.
