Governance
Skripta operates under a structured governance framework ensuring institutional integrity, legal compliance, and total editorial autonomy across all publishing activities.
Ownership & Legal Status
Skripta is an independent scholarly publishing organization legally registered in the European Union as Skripta s.r.o. (Prague, Czech Republic). Actively publishing scientific journals since 2012, the publisher operates in strict adherence to European publishing conventions, open scholarship mandates, and international research ethics standards.
Editorial Independence Charter
Skripta affirms the unequivocal principle of editorial independence. Commercial operations, sponsorship, journal fees, or publisher management have no influence over editorial decisions regarding manuscript acceptance, revisions, or rejections.
- Decision Autonomy: Editors-in-Chief hold complete and final authority over the intellectual content, peer review standards, and publication timing of their respective journals.
- Separation of Commercial Functions: Operational, financial, and marketing teams operate independently of editorial review committees and have no access to confidential reviewer deliberations.
- Conflict Resolution: In cases of contested editorial decisions or appeals, matters are handled through independent Ombudsperson and COPE-aligned procedures.
Governance Structure & Leadership
The publisher’s governance is organized into three distinct tiers of responsibility:
Executive Directorate
Responsible for publisher infrastructure, technical systems, financial sustainability, legal compliance, and strategic dissemination partnerships.
Leadership appointments confirmed upon client sign-off.
Scientific Advisory Council

Journal Editorial Boards
Headed by appointed Editors-in-Chief, comprising section editors and peer reviewers who manage journal-specific evaluations according to the published scope and review policy. EOJNSS currently uses single-blind review.
