Abstract

Transparency is a mirage or a paradox because the minimum acceptable, measurable transparency standard remains highly debated. In this review, efforts were made to outline how to make sure all stakeholders, both within and outside Special Journals Publisher, see and understand the goal of Special Journals Publisher [SJP] in the same way. Transparency also requires a publishing culture that welcomes honest, open communication between different levels of SJP. Unity of purpose, and ideologies, with a clearly defined agenda, is the best way to achieve publishing excellence beyond expectation in a result-oriented press. Team playing use of edifying and morale-boosting language to communicate losses and giving stakeholders the opportunity to air their views before final decisions are made, as well as timely communication of the final decisions to stakeholders, forms the basis of transparency in the publication etiquette of Special Journal of Public Health, Nutrition, and Dietetics Research
