Oku Okut Press upholds the principles of academic integrity, neutrality, and editorial independence throughout all stages of its publication process. To prevent conflicts of interest:

• Editorial Board members do not participate in the evaluation or decision-making process for any manuscript to which they have contributed as authors.

• Such submissions are managed by independent editors, and the peer review is conducted by external reviewers who are not part of the editorial board.

• The review is carried out in accordance with the double-blind peer review principle.

• Final decisions are taken exclusively by non-author members of the Editorial Board.

This policy is in full alignment with the standards of COPE and is intended to safeguard academic credibility and ethical publishing practice.
