Editorial Independence Statement of Al-Osala Journal

In order to safeguard the integrity and impartiality of scholarly publishing, Al-Osala Journal declares a full separation between editorial decision-making processes and administrative or commercial interests.

All decisions regarding the acceptance, rejection, or revision of manuscripts are made exclusively by the editorial structure, including the editors, Editor-in-Chief, and Editorial Board members, based on criteria of scientific originality, scholarly significance, methodological soundness, and relevance to the journal’s scope.

No administrative body, funding entity, or any external party—whether for commercial or political purposes—has the right to interfere in any manner with publication decisions or the evaluation of manuscripts prior to publication.

The publisher (Libyan Association for Educational and Human Sciences) is responsible solely for administrative support, publication infrastructure, and legal consultation when necessary. The publisher does not participate in the scientific decision-making process of manuscripts, except in providing legal or ethical advisory support in coordination with the editorial team.

Any complaint or appeal regarding editorial decisions is handled through a formal internal review structure, such as the Editorial Board, Ethics Committee, or an equivalent mechanism, independent of external influence.

All editors, editorial board members, and reviewers are required to adhere to scientific ethical standards, including impartiality, transparency, disclosure of conflicts of interest, confidentiality regarding manuscripts, and refraining from using unpublished material in their own research prior to official publication.

The journal ensures procedural transparency for all stakeholders, including authors, reviewers, and readers. It publicly discloses its editorial policies, peer review standards, and mechanisms for handling disputes or post-publication issues when necessary.

The objective is to maintain the independence of scientific decision-making and ensure that all published content in Al-Osala Journal reflects rigorous academic standards, free from any undue influence or bias.
