Publication Ethics

Responsibilities and research integrity

Authors must submit original work, acknowledge all sources, and ensure that their manuscripts are not simultaneously under consideration elsewhere. Plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabrication or falsification of data, inappropriate authorship, and other forms of research misconduct are unacceptable.

Authors, editors, and reviewers must disclose relevant conflicts of interest and maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts. Research involving human participants must comply with applicable ethical requirements, including appropriate approval and informed consent where necessary.

Handling ethical concerns

Suspected ethical violations will be examined fairly, and appropriate corrective action may be taken when warranted. The journal expects all participants in the publication process to uphold honesty, transparency, accountability, and respect for intellectual property.
