Publication Ethics

Publication Decision
The editor holds the responsibility for deciding which submitted articles are suitable for publication in the journal. This decision is guided by the journal’s editorial policies and must adhere to legal requirements, including those concerning defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may consult with other editors or reviewers to ensure informed and balanced decisions.

Fairness Principle
Editors must evaluate all manuscripts solely based on their intellectual content, without discrimination based on the authors’ race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political ideology.

Confidentiality
Editors and editorial staff must maintain strict confidentiality regarding all information about submitted manuscripts. Such information may only be shared with the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as necessary.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Unpublished materials included in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the explicit written consent of the author. Editors must avoid conflicts of interest and act in a manner that upholds the integrity of the publication process.

Author Responsibilities

Reporting Standards
Authors must provide an accurate account of the research conducted, along with an objective discussion of its significance. Data should be represented accurately, and the paper should include sufficient detail and references to enable replication. Fraudulent or intentionally inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable.

Originality and Plagiarism
Authors must ensure their work is entirely original. If the work or words of others are used, proper citation or quotation must be provided to avoid plagiarism.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
Authors should not publish the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable.

Acknowledgment of Sources
Proper acknowledgment must be given to the work of others. Authors should cite influential publications that have contributed to shaping the reported research.

Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the research. All contributors should be listed as co-authors, while others who have participated in substantial aspects of the project should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring all appropriate co-authors are included, all have approved the final manuscript, and they agree to its submission.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Authors must disclose any financial or substantive conflicts of interest that could influence the results or interpretation of their work. All sources of financial support for the project should also be disclosed.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works
If an author identifies a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, it is their responsibility to promptly inform the journal editor or publisher. Authors must cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper as necessary.
