The Wittmann Foundation promotes science, research, and education and provides the institutional and financial basis for the operation and further development of IJPSC.
Journal Management
Scholarly and editorial management of IJPSC is carried out independently by the journal’s Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Board.
Editor-in-Chief: Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Dr. h.c. Eckehard Krah
The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the scholarly direction of the journal and for ensuring that editorial procedures comply with the journal’s published policies on peer review, publication ethics, research integrity, conflicts of interest, corrections, and retractions.
Editorial Independence
IJPSC maintains editorial independence from its institutional and financial support.
The Wittmann Foundation does not determine the acceptance or rejection of individual manuscripts and does not influence reviewer selection, peer-review reports, editorial assessments, publication decisions, corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions.
Editorial decisions are based on scholarly merit, relevance to the journal’s aims and scope, methodological or conceptual quality, research integrity, and the outcome of the journal’s peer-review process.
Where the Editor-in-Chief or a member of the Editorial Board is an author or co-author of a submitted manuscript, that person is excluded from the editorial assessment, reviewer selection, peer-review process, and publication decision concerning that manuscript.
Funding Model
IJPSC is funded by the Stiftung Anneliese und Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Waldemar Wittmann.
The Foundation’s support contributes to the journal’s publication infrastructure, editorial administration, DOI and metadata services, website operation, and open-access publishing activities.
Funding is organisationally separate from editorial decision-making.
Author Charges
IJPSC does not charge authors any submission fees, article processing charges (APCs), editorial processing fees, peer-review fees, page charges, formatting or typesetting fees, colour charges, publication fees, or other mandatory charges.
Authors therefore incur no mandatory fees from submission through publication.
Copyright and Author Rights
Ownership and funding of the journal are separate from the copyright ownership of individual scholarly articles.
Authors retain copyright and full publishing rights in their articles without restriction. Copyright is not transferred or assigned to IJPSC or to the Wittmann Foundation.
Authors grant IJPSC the non-exclusive right of first publication and the non-exclusive rights necessary to publish, distribute, preserve, identify, index, archive, and maintain the version of record.
