AURUM editors are obliged to be accountable for all kinds of activities they engage within the context of

publishing the journal. Their main goal is set to respond the need of readers and authors while enhancing

the academic performance of the journal. It is their duty to support freedom of opinion and ensure the

reliability of the academic content. Considering the financial challenges in publishing sector, the editors

are obliged to exclude impacts of any commercial concerns on AURUM not to sacrifice from its intellectual

and ethical standards.

They accept in advance to publish any kind of corrections, refutations and excuses when required. The

responsibility towards readers is a sensitive issue where the editors should inform about the funder of

particular research or other academic work. If the financial supporters of particular research have any

impact on a scholarly work, the reader must be informed. Editors’ action to admit or reject a scholarly

work must be free of subjective criterion but based on objective standards related to its uniqueness/

originality and relevance to the research areas of AURUM. The process of receiving application shall be

fully democratic where all applications to be considered unless major errors are observed. Once an author

receives an acceptance of publishing from AURUM, his/her right cannot be withdrawn in case of an editor

change within the process. The authors shall be given an opportunity to initiate an appeal process against

any editorial discretion. As editors should offer a guidance of preparing the manuscripts, AURUM stands

behind its published ‘style guide’ and preserves it’s right to make revisions.
