Editorial policies

Editorial policies

Practices we apply to the books we publish. They describe our current operation, not services we do not run.

Authorship

Authorship is attributed to the people who created the work and who take public responsibility for it. Named authors must be real people. Artificial intelligence is not listed as an author.

Editorial review

Books in the current catalogue undergo editorial review by the publisher. This is not academic peer review: we do not claim independent external reviewers, double-blind evaluation or a research-journal process.

Use of AI

AI tools may be used in production support, such as language checking or layout assistance. They do not receive authorship. Final editorial responsibility remains human.

Corrections

Metadata errors are corrected on the publication page as soon as they are identified. Material editorial errors may lead to a correction note, a reprint or a new edition, depending on the case.

Withdrawals

If a publication must be withdrawn, the public page is kept available with a clear notice of the change. We do not silently remove the bibliographic record.

Licensing

Editions in the current catalogue are published with all rights reserved. A different licence is stated only when it has been defined for that edition. We do not assume open-access or Creative Commons terms.

Versioning

We distinguish a correction, a reprint, a new edition and a translation. Related language editions are linked and keep their own identifiers.

Metadata stewardship

We correct and maintain the bibliographic metadata of the publications we issue, including identifiers, authorship, dates and the public URL of each edition.
