Statement of Faith and Academic Integrity 

Our Commitment to Academic Integrity

As a scholarly publisher, Open Christian Press upholds internationally recognized standards of academic rigor, peer review, and editorial impartiality. We follow the ethical principles outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and expect every submission to reflect:

• Original, well-researched, and responsibly cited work

• Honest reporting of data, sources, and arguments

• Transparency in authorship, funding, and methodology

• Respect for intellectual property and proper attribution

• A willingness to revise, correct, or retract errors when needed

We affirm that intellectual excellence and spiritual conviction are not in conflict, and that faith-informed scholarship must hold itself to the highest standards of evidence, clarity, and discernment.

A Community of Truth-Seekers

Open Christian Press exists to provide a home for scholars who long to pursue truth without compromise, explore difficult questions without fear, and contribute to the building of knowledge that honors both the mind and the spirit.

We do not demand ideological conformity, but we do expect intellectual integrity, ethical consistency, and a posture of humility before the complexity of truth.

Authors, reviewers, and editors are all invited to participate in this community of rigorous, faith-informed scholarship—united not by uniformity of opinion, but by a shared commitment to truth, conscience, and the pursuit of wisdom in a world that desperately needs it.
