Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

Ethics and Malpractice Statement
Responsibilities of Authors
The authors of the original research paper should present the importance of the work being done. The basic data should be shown correctly in the article. The article should contain enough detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Dishonesty or knowingly false statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Authors may be asked to provide raw data of their work with the article for editorial review, and they must be prepared to make the data available to the public if applicable.
Authors will submit original or review articles and cite other works as appropriate. Publications that are effective in determining the nature of the article should also be mentioned.
In general, articles describing the same research should not be published in more than one journal. Submitting the same article to more than one journal constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Articles published elsewhere as copyrighted material may not be submitted.
Anyone who has made significant contributions should be listed as a co-author. The corresponding author ensures that all contributing co-authors are present and that no persons who have never joined the list of authors are added. The corresponding author also confirms that all co-authors approve the final version of the article and agree to its submission for publication.
When the author discovers that there has been a significant error or inaccuracy in his published work, he is under the obligation to notify the journal editor or publisher immediately and to cooperate with the editor to withdraw or correct the article.
Issues to be Considered by The Authors
Ensure that all submitted research is original, fully referenced and that all authors are properly represented.
Provide accurate contact information for a designated author, who is deemed to be fully responsible for the authorship of the article and all communications relating to the moral status and authenticity of the article.
Provide the source of all data and third-party material, including previously unpublished work by the authors. Any elements that may compromise the authenticity of the presentation should be explicitly avoided and / or discussed with the editor's office in the first place.
Identify the contribution of any third party they intend to include in their article and obtain written permission from the respective copyright holders for reuse in each case. These permissions must be submitted when the article is accepted or when minor changes require acceptance.
