Editors & Boards

Chairman & EIC

Brieflands is a scientific, technical and medical publisher and is the owner and publisher of this journal. Where an academic organization is affiliated with the journal, that affiliation is scientific only: the organization supports the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board in defining the journal’s scope and upholding its scientific standards. It holds no ownership, financial or commercial interest in the journal, and no funds pass between Brieflands and the organization in either direction.

No member of the editorial team receives a salary, honorarium, fee waiver, discount on author charges, or preferential handling of their own submissions from Brieflands in return for editorial service. Editorial appointments are reviewed annually by the governing board of Brieflands against its criteria for independence and responsibility, and editors are independent of the publisher in their editorial decisions.

Editors are required to declare all relevant competing interests and must not take part in reviewing or deciding on any paper in which they have a competing interest. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the scientific content of all material published in the journal. A competing-interest statement appears beneath each editor, covering activities over the twelve months since the last update; relevant competing interests from earlier years are also taken into account when deciding whether it is appropriate for an editor to handle a paper.
