Policies and Guidelines

Publication Ethics

Author Responsibilities

1. Reporting Standards: Authors must present an accurate account of the research performed and an objective discussion of its significance. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fabricated, falsified, or knowingly inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable.

2. Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide raw data related to the manuscript for editorial review and should be willing to provide public access to such data when feasible. Authors must retain research data for a reasonable period after publication.

3. Originality and Plagiarism: Manuscripts must be entirely original. If authors use the work or words of others, appropriate citation and quotation are mandatory. All forms of plagiarism—including copying, paraphrasing without attribution, and claiming another’s research findings—are unethical and strictly prohibited.

4. Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously. Publishing substantially similar research in more than one journal without proper justification is unethical. Previously published work should not be submitted for consideration elsewhere.

5. Acknowledgment of Sources: Authors must give proper credit to the work of others. All publications influential in shaping the research should be appropriately cited. Information obtained through personal communication, peer review, or confidential processes must not be used without explicit written permission from the source.

6. Authorship Criteria: Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study.

• All significant contributors must be listed as co-authors.
• Others who contributed to specific aspects of the research should be acknowledged appropriately.
• The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all listed authors have approved the final manuscript and agreed to its submission.

7. Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects: If the research involves hazardous materials, procedures, or equipment, authors must clearly identify these risks in the manuscript.
For studies involving human or animal subjects, authors must:

• Confirm compliance with institutional and national ethical guidelines.
• Provide approval from an appropriate ethics committee.
• Include a statement confirming informed consent for human participants.

8. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Authors must disclose all financial or personal relationships that could influence (or appear to influence) the work. All sources of financial support must be fully acknowledged.

9. Fundamental Errors in Published Works: If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in a published article, they are obligated to promptly notify the journal editor and cooperate in withdrawing or correcting the paper. If the editor learns of such an error from a third party, authors must provide evidence of correction or agree to retraction as appropriate.

Editorial Board Responsibilities

1. Publication Decisions: The Editor-in-Chief, supported by the Editorial Board, is responsible for deciding which submitted manuscripts will be accepted, revised, or rejected. Decisions must be based on the manuscript’s academic merit, originality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal’s scope. Legal requirements regarding plagiarism, copyright, and research ethics must also be considered.

2. Fair and Impartial Evaluation: Editors must evaluate all manuscripts solely based on their scholarly content. Editorial decisions must not be influenced by an author’s race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, citizenship, ethnic background, political views, or institutional affiliation.

3. Confidentiality: Editors and editorial staff must treat all submitted manuscripts as strictly confidential.
Manuscript details should not be shared with anyone except:

• The corresponding author,
• Assigned reviewers,
• Potential reviewers,
• Other editorial advisors,
• And the publisher (when necessary).
  Unpublished material in a manuscript must never be used for personal advantage.

4. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Editors must avoid handling manuscripts in which they have any conflict of interest, including:

• Personal relationships with the authors,
• Professional collaborations (past or present),
• Financial interests,
• Or competing research.

In such cases, the manuscript should be assigned to an alternative editor or associate editor. Any privileged information obtained during the editorial or peer-review process must remain confidential and must not be used in the editor’s own research without written permission from the authors.

5. Ensuring Integrity of the Review Process: Editors must ensure that each manuscript undergoes a fair, unbiased, and timely peer-review process. They are responsible for selecting qualified, independent reviewers with expertise relevant to the manuscript. Editors should prevent any form of manipulation or misconduct during peer review.

6. Ethical Oversight: Editors must ensure that manuscripts involving human or animal subjects comply with ethical guidelines, including approval from relevant ethics committees and informed consent where applicable. Any ethical concerns raised by reviewers, readers, or editorial staff must be investigated promptly and transparently.

7. Handling Misconduct: If concerns arise regarding research integrity, plagiarism, data fabrication, or unethical practices, editors must investigate the matter objectively. When necessary, editors may seek clarifications from authors, consult reviewers, or coordinate with the publisher. If misconduct is confirmed, appropriate action such as rejection, retraction, or correction will be taken.

8. Transparency and Corrections: Editors must ensure that errors identified in published articles are corrected promptly through errata, corrigenda, or retractions when required. Transparency in editorial decisions is essential to maintain trust in the publication process.
