Our standards are aligned with COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

1. Responsibilities of Authors

• Reporting & Integrity: Authors must provide an honest and accurate account of their research. Data fabrication, falsification, or manipulation is strictly prohibited. The paper must include enough detail and references to allow others to replicate the study.

• Originality: Work must be entirely original. Plagiarism and concurrent submissions (sending the same paper to multiple journals) are considered unethical. Proper credit must be given to all influences and previous works.

• Authorship: Only those who made significant contributions to the study's design or execution should be listed as authors. Others should be acknowledged. All authors must approve the final version for submission.

• Conflicts of Interest: Authors are required to disclose any financial or personal interests that might influence their findings.

• Error Correction: If a significant error is found post-submission, the author is obligated to notify the editor immediately to retract or correct the work.
