Accurate and up-to-date contact information is essential for authors, reviewers, editors, and other contributors who interact with the Journal of Prison Education and Reentry (JPER). The journal uses this information to manage submissions, communicate editorial decisions, coordinate peer review, request revisions, provide publication updates, and maintain necessary records related to the editorial and publishing process.
JPER is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who provides personal information to the journal. Contact details such as names, email addresses, institutional affiliations, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and other identifying information are collected only when they are necessary for legitimate journal activities.
It is the policy of JPER not to sell, rent, trade, or otherwise provide personal contact information to third parties for commercial, promotional, or marketing purposes. Personal information supplied to the journal is used only for purposes directly connected with manuscript submission, peer review, editorial administration, publication, scholarly communication, and other legitimate journal operations.
Access to personal information is limited to individuals who require it for the performance of their editorial or administrative responsibilities. This may include members of the editorial team, authorized journal staff, and service providers involved in the technical management of submissions or publication, where such access is necessary and appropriately controlled.
Author and reviewer contact information is not disclosed publicly unless such disclosure is part of the normal publication record or has been authorized by the individual concerned. For example, the name, institutional affiliation, and corresponding author email address may appear in a published article when this information is provided for publication purposes. Reviewer identities remain confidential when the journal’s review model requires anonymity.
JPER takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to support the journal’s editorial, publishing, ethical, and administrative responsibilities.
By submitting a manuscript, agreeing to review a paper, or otherwise communicating with JPER, individuals provide contact information for the purpose of facilitating legitimate journal activities. This information will not be sold or shared with unrelated third parties.
Anyone who has questions about how their personal information is used, wishes to update inaccurate contact details, or has a privacy-related concern may contact the JPER editorial office for assistance.
