Why Publish with OnScientia
Commitments that apply to every manuscript, from first upload to the printed issue.
Open Access Worldwide
Every article is free to read and free to download as its own PDF from the day of publication under CC BY 4.0. No paywalls and no reader registration.
Rigorous Peer Review
Double-blind review by independent experts follows a transparent desk compliance check and ends in one of four defined decision categories.
First Decision Within Six Weeks
Every manuscript receives a first editorial decision within six weeks of submission, so authors can plan their next step without months of uncertainty.
Topic & Research Pre-Assessment
Before the manuscript is written, the Editorial Board evaluates the proposed research project free of charge and without obligation, giving authors a reliable basis for choosing the right journal.
Three Fields at One Intersection
Business, law, and health in one journal, together with the regulatory, economic, and clinical questions between them.
An Author-First Process
The Author Guidelines pair every rule with a worked example, and non-compliant manuscripts are returned for correction rather than desk-rejected.
Permanent and Citable
Every article carries its own DOI, and the journal is listed in WorldCat, findable through library catalogs worldwide.
A Printed Copy for Every Author
In addition to Open Access publication, every author receives a printed copy of the issue containing their article, a lasting physical record of the published work.
Transparent Policies
COPE-aligned ethics, ICMJE authorship criteria, CRediT contributor roles, and a published corrections-and-retractions policy.

Three steps carry a manuscript from first upload to the published issue.
1. Submit
Upload one .docx manuscript through the OnScientia portal, prepared to the Author Guidelines.
2. Peer Review
A desk compliance check verifies scope and formatting before independent experts assess the manuscript in double-blind review.
3. Publish
Accepted articles appear Open Access in the next issue with a DOI, citable from day one.
