We are aware of the image that is often associated with open access journals as vanity publishing or lower quality, but we are strongly opposed to this with our journals. All of our journals have their own independent editorial boards that ensure quality of the articles that are published, and all published issues are submitted for inclusion in recognised indexing agencies.
All of our titles have been submitted to reputable indices, and external quality control reviews will be conducted periodically. Castledown has zero tolerance for plagiarism or inappropriate practice in conducting or disseminating research, and we will pursue all legal options open to us should such instances be found.
