Editorial Standards

How ISNS evaluates research submissions and maintains educational quality.

Independent review

Submissions are reviewed for scientific clarity, educational value, and alignment with ISNS scope. Acceptance is editorial — not commercial.

Free to submit; fee only on acceptance

Authors need a free account to submit (no membership purchase required). A publishing fee applies only after acceptance, with member and non-member rates.

Transparency of status

Authors can track status (received, review, accepted, in production, published) from My Submissions. Work is public in the Research Library only after Published.

Disclosures

Authors must disclose conflicts of interest and funding. Material that is promotional rather than educational may be declined.

Revisions & rejection

Editors may request revisions. Rejection decisions are communicated with brief notes where appropriate. Sponsorship does not influence editorial outcomes.

These pages describe current ISNS practice. Final legal wording can be refined with counsel before public launch.
