Privacy Policy

Pioneer Medical Journal (PMJ) respects the privacy and confidentiality of authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and other users of the Journal's website and submission systems.

Personal information collected during manuscript submission, peer review, publication, correspondence, or website use may include names, institutional affiliations, email addresses, ORCID identifiers, and other information necessary for the operation and administration of the Journal.

Personal information will be used only for legitimate journal-related purposes, including manuscript processing, peer review, editorial communication, publication, indexing, archiving, and prevention of publication misconduct. Such information will not be sold or used for unrelated commercial purposes.

Reviewer identities and confidential peer-review information will be protected in accordance with the Journal's peer-review policy. Confidential manuscripts and editorial correspondence will not be disclosed to unauthorised persons.

Published articles may contain author names, affiliations, ORCID identifiers, and corresponding-author contact information as part of the permanent scholarly record.

PMJ takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. Where third-party services are used for submission, publishing, indexing, analytics, or digital preservation, information may be processed by those services in accordance with their applicable policies.
