Publication Ethics

Author Responsibilities

• Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must guarantee that the submitted manuscript is their own original work and has not been previously published or is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Plagiarism, in all its forms, is strictly prohibited. All sources, including ideas, data, and direct quotes from other people's work, must be properly cited and acknowledged.

• Data and Access: Authors are required to retain the raw data related to their manuscript and must be prepared to provide it for editorial review if requested.

• Multiple or Concurrent Submission: Submitting the same manuscript simultaneously to more than one journal is considered unethical and is not permitted.

• Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest: Authors must clearly disclose any potential conflicts of interest—financial, personal, or professional—that could be seen as influencing the results or interpretation of their research.

• Correction of Errors: If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they are obligated to promptly notify the journal editor and cooperate in correcting or retracting the article.
