The Science, Education and Innovations in the Context of Modern Problems (SEI) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of editorial independence, transparency, fairness, and publication ethics throughout the peer review and editorial process. Members of the Editorial Board, including the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, Section Editors, Guest Editors, and other Editorial Board members, are welcome to submit manuscripts to the journal. To eliminate any actual or perceived conflict of interest, all editor-authored submissions are managed through a completely independent editorial workflow.

Independent Editorial Handling

Editors who are authors of a submitted manuscript are entirely excluded from every stage of the editorial process relating to their own submission. They have no access to reviewer identities, reviewer reports, editorial correspondence, manuscript files, or editorial decisions. Furthermore, they are not permitted to participate in reviewer selection, editorial discussions, editorial recommendations, or publication decisions regarding their manuscript.

Submissions from the Editor-in-Chief

When the Editor-in-Chief submits a manuscript, complete editorial responsibility is delegated to an independent senior editor or another qualified Editorial Board member who has no competing interests. The appointed editor assumes full responsibility for reviewer selection, editorial assessment, communication with reviewers and authors, and the final editorial recommendation.

Submissions from Other Editors

Manuscripts submitted by Associate Editors, Section Editors, Guest Editors, or other Editorial Board members are handled by an independent editor who has no affiliation with the submitted work and no competing interests. Editorial Board members receive no preferential treatment, and their submissions are evaluated under exactly the same editorial standards and review criteria as those of all other authors.

Peer Review

All editor-authored manuscripts undergo the journal's standard double-blind peer review process and are evaluated by at least two independent external reviewers with appropriate subject expertise. Editorial decisions are based exclusively on scientific merit, originality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal's aims and scope.
