The Editor-in-Chief is appointed by the Director of Publication. The publishing Director legally represents the journal, is typically the president of the publishing house, or is its representative. As this is a scientific journal, members of the Editorial Board and the Scientific Advisory Board are not remunerated. They are co-opted by the Review Office which is composed of the Director of Publication, the Chair of the Scientific Council, the Chief Editor Emeritus, and the Editor-in-Chief of the journal and, when relevant, the second Editor-in-Chief, and Associate Editors. In case of difficulties or deficiencies the Director of Publication may then appoint them for a transition period. The publisher guarantees the editorial independence of the journal and only intervenes in the event of difficulties, shortcomings, delays, legal risks, financial problems or other problems affecting the proper functioning of the journal, or of the management of its issues. The journal is supported by the ICN Business School, which provides the journal with human and financial resources. The entirety of the RIPCO editorial team thanks ICN for its support.
