Publication Ethic

Originality and Plagiarism Policy: Authors must guarantee that submitted manuscripts are entirely original works. Any ideas, words, or data from other sources must be properly cited. The maximum acceptable similarity index checked via Turnitin is below 15%.

Reporting Standards: Authors must present an accurate and objective account of the research performed, supported by verifiable primary data.

Multiple or Concurrent Publication: Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously or publishing essentially the same research in multiple outlets constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Authorship Requirements: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. The corresponding author must ensure that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final version prior to submission.

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest: Authors must disclose any financial or non-financial conflicts of interest and acknowledge all sources of financial support for the research.

Publication Decisions: The Editor-in-Chief and handling editors are responsible for deciding which submitted articles should be published, based on academic merit, validity, originality, and alignment with the journal's scope.

Fairness and Impartiality: Editors evaluate manuscripts strictly on their intellectual content, without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality: Editors and editorial staff must protect the confidentiality of all submitted materials and not disclose details to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, and potential reviewers.

Conflict of Interest: Editors must recuse themselves from considering manuscripts in which they have competing, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors or institutions connected to the papers.

Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer reviewers assist editors in making informed editorial decisions and provide constructive feedback to authors to improve manuscript quality.

Promptness: Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to evaluate the manuscript or foresees an inability to complete the review within the requested timeframe must notify the editor and withdraw from the review process.

Confidentiality: Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents and must not be shared or discussed with unauthorized third parties.

Objectivity: Reviews must be conducted objectively without personal criticism. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting reasoning and constructive suggestions.
