Publication Ethics
Authors, reviewers, and editors all adhere to the same principles, which are honesty, openness, and integrity, throughout the process.
- Submissions need to be original — without plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, or duplicate submissions.
- Citations for all sources are required.
- Editing is based entirely on academic quality — and not on the author's country, affiliation, gender, or religious belief.
- Reviewers conduct their reviews independently and declare conflicts of interest.
- Issues that arise prior to or following publication are thoroughly investigated, and corrective measures such as expressions of concern or retraction may follow if necessary.
