Since its inception in February 2025 the Journal follows and adopts the principles of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which is a world-wide initiative designed to improve the ways in which the outputs of scholarly research are evaluated. We’re supporting responsible research assessment practices by rolling out a broader range of journal and article metrics publicly available, and helping authors gain deeper insights into the impact of their work. 

The Journal is a Signatory of DORA

DORA is the International Declaration and Guidance for Transparent and truthful assessment of Research Impact. It aims to combat the many falsified Impact Factor information disseminated by a large number of journals, including many published by the leading global publishers.
