Leapman publishes research that advances durable knowledge across the social and natural sciences. The journal selects work defined by conceptual discipline, methodological transparency, and relevance beyond a single domain. Priority is given to submissions that clarify foundational problems or contribute to general explanatory frameworks.

Leapman recognizes publication as an epistemic act situated at the intersection of discovery, justification, and public reason. To publish is not to display findings, but to certify claims as admissible within the shared order of disciplinary knowledge. The journal seeks to maintain conditions under which truth-seeking remains accountable—to method, to critique, and to the intelligibility of the world. In this view, editorial judgment is not a procedural step but a constitutive moment in the life of knowledge.

Editorial decisions at Leapman are made by a team with domain-specific expertise. The journal does not operate through an external board; editorial evaluation is conducted internally, in consultation with independent peer reviewers. Manuscripts are assessed solely on the basis of scholarly merit, without reference to authors’ institutional affiliations, seniority, or geographic origin.

All accepted work must meet Leapman’s criteria for methodological transparency, data integrity, and compliance with international ethical standards. Editors adhere to established protocols for confidentiality and conflict of interest.

Leapman journals may, where appropriate, utilize internal artificial intelligence tools developed under editorial supervision to support the generation of non-substantive materials, including but not limited to metadata, formatting tags, or summary headers. Such tools are restricted to auxiliary functions and are not used to generate, alter, or interpret any primary research content. All editorial materials produced with AI assistance are reviewed and approved by human editors prior to publication. Any material contribution by artificial intelligence beyond these limited functions will be clearly disclosed in the published article and subject to prior editorial approval.
