This journal’s editorial team uses these data to guide and improve its work in publishing, to make communication possible for the editorial process, and to to track geographical and social elements of scholarly communication. Data that will assist in developing this publishing platform may be shared with its developer Public Knowledge Project in an anonymized and aggregated form. The data will not be sold by this journal or PKP nor will it be used for purposes other than those stated here.

Those involved in editing this journal make every effort to be compliant with industry standards for data privacy, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provision for “data subject rights” that include (a) breach notification; (b) right of access; (c) the right to be forgotten; (d) data portability; and (e) privacy by design. The GDPR also allows for the recognition of “the public interest in the availability of the data,” which has a particular saliency for those involved in maintaining, with the greatest integrity possible, the public record of scholarly publishing.
