No member of the editorial team holds an ownership interest in HM Publisher, and no part of the journal’s ownership is held by an author, sponsor, advertiser or supplier.
3. Management and division of responsibility
Publishing and editorial authority are deliberately separated. The table states who decides what.
| Function | Held by | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Editorial decisions | Editor-in-Chief and the editorial board | Screening, reviewer selection, assessment, acceptance, revision, rejection, correction and retraction. Final authority rests with the Editor-in-Chief and is not shared with the publisher. See Peer Review Process. |
| Scope and standards | Editorial Board | Aims and scope, editorial policy, appointment of editors and reviewers, and periodic review of this and other policies. See Editorial Board. |
| Platform and production | HM Publisher | The Open Journal Systems installation, hosting, production, DOI registration and metadata deposit, submissions to indexing services, operational continuity and administration. No role in assessing or deciding manuscripts. |
| Scholarly collaboration | CMHC Research Center | Support for editorial and reviewer capacity and for dissemination. No role in assessing or deciding manuscripts. |
| Integrity procedures | Editor-in-Chief, with the publisher | Handling of allegations, corrections, expressions of concern and retractions under Publication Ethics and Plagiarism Policy. The publisher guarantees the procedure exists and is resourced; it does not determine the finding. |
The rules that protect this separation — recusal, and what a recused editor may not see — are set out in Conflict of Interest.
