Editorial Policies

Editorial Policies

Clinical Trials and Practice (CTP), published by Openventio Publishers, maintains a comprehensive set of editorial and publication policies to ensure transparency, integrity, and consistency across every stage of the publication process. These policies are based, in large part, on the guidelines and standards developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions at CTP are made solely on the basis of a manuscript's scientific merit, originality, and relevance to the journal's scope. These decisions are made independently of any commercial, financial, or personal interest, including Article Processing Charges or waiver status.
