The editorial management of a scientific journal is a complex process that goes through several moments, which require organization and coherence to achieve proper effectiveness. The establishment of the operational principles for a scientific journal is the basis for defining its working policies. These policies are the essence of editorial management and journals’ actions derive from them. This document describes some of the essential policies that a scientific journal should have. The objective is to provide scientific journals’ editors with some elementary tools for constructing their own policies, based on the best practices of this activity at an international level.
