Define centrally. Configure locally where permitted.
Publisher-mandatory standards are maintained as canonical Treata policies rather than copied into every journal. Journal profiles identify the applicable review model, access model, fees, discipline-specific requirements, and other permitted settings.
Governance principle
Treata Master Policy → Journal Policy Profile → Approved Journal Configuration or Additional Requirement.
Material policy changes are versioned so the policy applicable to a manuscript or published article can be identified historically.
