Publishing Responsibility
GalaxiaUniverse is responsible for supporting the journal's publication infrastructure and administrative operations. These responsibilities may include website maintenance, manuscript-management support, production coordination, publication of accepted articles, maintenance of journal metadata, and facilitation of access to published content.
The publisher is also responsible for supporting the implementation of publicly stated journal policies concerning scholarly publishing, research integrity, transparency, copyright and licensing, access, corrections, and other matters relevant to the management of the journal.
Publishing responsibility does not permit interference with legitimate editorial judgments concerning individual manuscripts.
Editorial Independence
The Journal of Circular Economy Innovations maintains editorial independence in relation to manuscript evaluation and publication decisions. The Editor-in-Chief and authorized editors are responsible for determining whether manuscripts are suitable for peer review and whether they should be accepted, revised, or rejected.
Editorial decisions are based on scholarly considerations and are not determined by commercial interests, institutional relationships, advertising arrangements, author nationality, geographic location, professional status, or other factors unrelated to the academic quality and ethical acceptability of the manuscript.
Where an editor has a relevant conflict of interest concerning a submission, responsibility for the manuscript should be transferred to another qualified editor who can provide an independent assessment.
Ownership and Governance Transparency
The journal operates under the publishing responsibility of GalaxiaUniverse. Information concerning the publisher, journal identity, ISSNs, editorial leadership, publication frequency, access model, and relevant journal policies is made publicly available to support transparency in scholarly communication.
The journal seeks to maintain a governance structure in which publishing administration, editorial responsibility, peer review, and publication-ethics oversight are clearly distinguished. This separation helps protect the integrity of editorial decision-making and supports confidence in the scholarly publication process.
Relationship Between the Publisher and Editorial Team
The publisher provides operational support, while the editorial team retains responsibility for the academic evaluation of manuscripts. The publisher does not require editors to accept or reject manuscripts for financial, promotional, institutional, or other non-scholarly reasons.
The editorial team is expected to apply the journal's published policies consistently and to manage manuscripts confidentially, fairly, and independently. Decisions concerning peer review, revisions, acceptance, rejection, corrections, and other editorial matters remain subject to the journal's established editorial and publication-ethics procedures.

Where a published article requires correction, retraction, clarification, or another formal editorial notice, the publisher supports the implementation and continued accessibility of the relevant publication record.
Transparency of Journal Information
The Journal of Circular Economy Innovations seeks to ensure that information concerning its publisher, editorial structure, peer-review process, publication frequency, open-access model, copyright and licensing terms, publication ethics, and other relevant policies is presented clearly on the journal website.
Any material change affecting the journal's publisher, ownership arrangements, publication model, or other core publishing information should be reflected transparently in the journal's publicly available information.
