§Statement on Ethics

§General Statement

The activities of Scholarly Editing are guided by the COPE (Committee on Publishing Ethics) Core Practices. Scholarly Editing is committed to maintaining transparent editorial operations, the highest standards of academic integrity, robust peer-review procedures, and respectful and constructive engagement with contributors, peer reviewers, and readers.

Scholarly Editing is committed to serving as an inclusive intellectual space and is committed to amplifying the work of diverse voices.

§Reviewing Ethics

Scholarly Editing maintains robust peer-review procedures concerned with supporting the publication of high-quality contributions. We place emphasis on ensuring that contributors receive constructive and encouraging peer-review reports, with the objective of providing thoughtful feedback and assessment. Peer reviewers are provided with comprehensive guidelines and reviewing templates to aid in this process. Peer-review reports are assessed carefully by the managing editor and editor-in-chief to detect any deviations from this practice.

§Ethics for Authors: Authorship and Contributorship

Authorship confers credit and has important academic, social, and financial implications. Authorship also implies responsibility and accountability for published work. Scholarly Editing seeks to ensure transparency as to who contributed to a piece of work and in what capacity. In that regard, we follow the CORE recommendations to ensure that contributors who have made substantive intellectual contributions to a paper are given credit as authors, but also that contributors credited as authors understand their role in taking responsibility and being accountable for what is published.

§Open Access

Between 2012 and 2017, content was published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Since 2022, content has been published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Contributors retain all rights to their original content. For every edition published in Scholarly Editing, readers may access the user interface developed for web publication and the XML file containing the core metadata for the edition.

§Web Accessibility

Scholarly Editing strives to be WCAG 2.1 AA compliant across its entire website. If you are having trouble accessing any content published in or after 2026, please write to info@scholarlyediting.org and we will work on fixing the issue or otherwise provide an accessible copy to the best of our ability.

§Legacy Content Policy

Content published before 2026 may not be fully WCAG 2.1 AA compliant. This mostly affects volumes 33–38 published between 2012 and 2017 and micro-editions published before volume 43. Legacy micro-editions may include experimental features that may not be easily rendered by screen-readers, e-ink displays, and braille displays, such as interactive visualizations requiring mouse dragging, or non-standard navigation. However, we invite you to write to info@scholarlyediting.org to enquire about an accessible copy.

§AI Assistance

Generative AI has been used to support the development of specific aspects of the Scholarly Editing website, with human direction and review.

AI assisted with content migration, web component development, internal interfaces to support editorial curation, web accessibility enhancements including some image descriptions, and documentation. Human maintainers directed requirements, reviewed all outputs, and take full responsibility for the final code and contents.

Acknowledgment: AI capabilities derive partly from programmers whose public work became training data. Our open-source code output has depended on proprietary AI infrastructure.
