Editorial Policies
- Peer Review Process
- All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the research published. The review process is double-blind, meaning both the reviewers and the authors remain anonymous to each other throughout the review process.
- Originality and Plagiarism
- Authors must ensure that their work is original and has not been published elsewhere. Manuscripts are checked for plagiarism using appropriate software. Any manuscript with a high similarity index may be rejected or returned to the authors for revision.
- Authorship
- All authors listed on the manuscript should have made a significant contribution to the research and approved the final version of the paper. Changes to the list of authors after submission must be approved by all co-authors.
- Conflicts of Interest
- Authors must disclose any financial or personal relationships that could be viewed as potential conflicts of interest. Reviewers and editors must also declare any conflicts of interest and, if necessary, recuse themselves from the review process.
- Ethical Considerations
- Research involving human subjects or animals must adhere to ethical standards and obtain necessary approvals from relevant ethics committees. Authors must include a statement confirming that ethical approval was obtained and that participants gave informed consent.
- Data Availability
- Authors are encouraged to make their research data publicly available and provide a data availability statement. This promotes transparency and allows others to replicate and build upon the research.
