2. Where we collect personal information from
Information provided directly
We collect personal information directly from individuals who use our Sites or services, visit our office locations, or communicate with us. All information that we ask for is mandatory unless it is indicated as being optional. If mandatory information is not provided, we will be unable to provide the requested service.
Information collected through automated technologies
We collect personal information when our Sites are used, either directly or through our third-party analytics providers. This might include Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and settings, device identifier details, internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, the Site content interacted with, operating system, clickstream data, location data, or other usage information. We collect this information through tracking technologies, including first and third-party cookies, web beacons (also known as tracking pixels or pixel tags), embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, device recognition technologies, and session replay software. We may combine this information with other information that we hold.
We use this information to enable Site functionality, understand Site interaction trends, gather demographic insights about our user base, personalize user experiences, and otherwise administer and improve our Sites and services. While we do not currently respond to “do not track” browser signals, users have several options to exercise choices about cookies and tracking technologies. Our Cookies Policy provides more information about cookies and tracking technologies on our Sites and how to control their use.

We receive personal information from third parties such as: business partners that we work with to provide our services; advertising, marketing, digital and social media agencies; data brokers; analytics providers; academic institutions; journal owners, societies and similar organizations; search information providers; third parties who may recommend potential authors, reviewers, editors or contributors; and credit reference agencies. We also receive information from publicly accessible sources, such as public databases or social media platforms.
