Editor Resources
Essential tools and ethical guidelines for robust editorial stewardship.
Effective editorial management requires a balance of scientific judgment and ethical adherence. Journal of Hematology and Oncology Research (JHOR) provides these resources to support our Editors in maintaining global publication standards.
Ethical Obligations
Editors must prioritize research integrity and author autonomy. Key obligations include:
- Impartial Evaluation: Review manuscripts solely on their scientific merit, regardless of author race, nationality, or institutional affiliation.
- Confidentiality: Maintain strict silence regarding unpublished manuscripts and reviewer identities until a final decision is reached.
- Conflict Management: Recuse yourself from any manuscript where a personal or professional conflict of interest may color your judgment.
- Corrective Action: If published errors are identified, cooperate with the journal to issue formal corrections or retractions immediately.
Best Practices for Review Management
Reviewer Selection: Respect author requests to exclude specific reviewers if valid reasons are
provided. Ensure reviewers receive manuscripts in secure PDF formats to prevent unauthorized alterations.
