Privacy Policy
The Academic Journal of Earth Sciences & Geological Studies (ISSN: 3051-8644) is completely dedicated to securing the digital privacy, personal metadata, and identity records of all users interacting with our platform. Managed under a continuous monthly publishing framework by The University Academics Publishing, we guarantee that all user data captured via our submission gateways remains confidential and restricted to editorial communication loops.
This Privacy Policy explicitly states what personal information we record from authors, peer reviewers, editorial members, and visitors, how we implement it, and the database safeguards set to block unauthorized metadata harvesting.
Information Collected & Application Boundaries
We only request personal registration metrics that are fundamentally necessary to facilitate evaluation, monthly processing, and public tracking workflows:
| For Submitting Authors | We collect user names, working email addresses, institutional university affiliations, ORCID registries, and country parameters during manuscript creation. This information block is utilized to route peer reviews, transmit processing updates, and display proper author strings on finalized earth science publications. |
| For Reviewers & Editors | We catalog technical specializations, critical geological survey domains, scientific index links, and contact identifiers. This allows editorial managers to seamlessly assign incoming manuscripts to relevant domain experts within our active reviewer tracking arrays. |
| For General Visitors | Standard web traffic logs, browser configurations, network IP locations, and non-persistent cookies are collected solely to analyze server performance, troubleshoot system errors, and verify cybersecurity parameters. |
Core Privacy Assurances
- No Commercial Monetization: We never sell, trade, lease, or distribute your email records or profile metrics to external marketing agencies or commercial databases.
- Anonymized Review Curation: Reviewer profile tracking metrics are isolated behind strict system security layers and are never made visible to authors.
- Account Autonomy: Registered community members maintain the right to update their metadata configurations or request profile clearouts at any time.
Data Integrity & Safety Protocols
- SSL Encryption: High-grade Secure Socket Layer (SSL) channels protect all data transfers across our manuscript submission dashboards.
- Restricted System Access: Profile registries are accessible only to authorized editorial managers managing active monthly volume archives.
- Automated Backups: Secure server backup protocols are run regularly to protect earth science research metadata against systemic failures or data loss.
Cookies and Digital Web Analytics
The journal portal utilizes essential functional cookies to optimize navigation performance, maintain active user dashboard sessions, and preserve search history across our published issue archives. These cookies carry no malicious tracking scripts and can be easily deactivated via your personal web browser preferences without interrupting your reading access to our open earth science articles.
