Transparency Principle

Clear Separation of Institutional and Editorial Authority

Sagamedia Teknologi Nusantara holds the journal's legal publishing and ownership responsibility and provides the organisational, legal, financial, and technical framework required to operate J-HyTEL. Manuscript evaluation and final editorial decisions remain under the independent authority of authorised, non-conflicted editors. The Editorial Board provides policy, disciplinary, and ethical oversight but does not collectively determine every individual manuscript decision.
