Communicate with respect
As editors, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, civility, and respect in all our interactions with scientific community members and the general public. At Polim Med, we believe that only relationships grounded in mutual respect foster trust and enable the delivery of high-quality scientific publishing services to the communities we serve.
All members of our editorial team are expected to maintain a professional and respectful attitude when engaging with authors, reviewers, and readers. We equally expect that individuals interacting with our editorial office adhere to the same standards of behavior. We do not tolerate aggressive or offensive behavior from any party, including any form of harassment, bullying, discrimination, or unfounded allegations directed against our editorial staff.
Complaints concerning alleged racism, sexism, or other forms of discrimination must be substantiated with specific quotations from written communications received from editors or reviewers of Polim Med; otherwise, such complaints may be regarded as a form of harassment. The editors will carefully review any reported case of alleged discrimination and provide a formal response to the person submitting the report.
We reserve the right to escalate serious cases to the appropriate institutional authorities or legal entities if warranted. Furthermore, we may suspend or permanently discontinue communication and collaboration with individuals who repeatedly or seriously breach this policy.
