The following ethical guidelines are adopted by our journal:

Duties of Authors

  1. Reporting Standards: Authors must present an accurate account of the research conducted and an objective discussion of its significance. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
  2. Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original, and if they have used the work or words of others, it must be appropriately cited or referenced.
  3. Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
  4. Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the reported work.
  5. Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors.
  6. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors must disclose any financial or substantive conflicts of interest that could be perceived to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.
  7. Fundamental Errors in Published Works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they are obligated to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with them to retract or correct the paper.

Duties of Editors

  1. Publication Decisions: Editors are responsible for deciding which articles will be published. Editors may be guided by the journal's editorial board policies and constrained by legal requirements such as libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.
  2. Fair Treatment: Editors should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
  3. Confidentiality: Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
  4. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.

Duties of Reviewers

  1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer reviews assist the editor in making editorial decisions and, through editorial communication with the author, may help the author improve the manuscript.
  2. Timeliness: Any reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and withdraw from the review process.
  3. Confidentiality: Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
  4. Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
  5. Acknowledgment of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published works that the authors have not cited. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers should also notify the editor of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published work.
  6. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts where they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the manuscript.
