Commitment to Publishing Integrity

Our policies follow the core recommendations established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and global open-access compliance frameworks.
Responsibilities Framework
For Authors
Ensure submitted manuscripts represent original, unpublished work. Accurately cite all sources, report data truthfully, and list all authors who contributed significantly to the research.
For Editors
Maintain objective, double-blind peer review procedures. Evaluate manuscripts solely on scientific merit without regard to author nationality, gender, or institutional affiliation.
For Reviewers
Provide constructive, timely, and unbiased evaluations. Declare any conflicts of interest immediately and treat all manuscript materials as strictly confidential.
For Publishers
Guarantee editorial independence, manage corrections and retractions promptly, and maintain permanent digital archiving of published scientific records.
Handling Plagiarism & Misconduct
All submitted manuscripts are processed through standard anti-plagiarism screening tools prior to editorial assignment. If misconduct, duplicate submission, or data manipulation is identified at any stage:
- Pre-publication: The manuscript will be immediately rejected, and an official report provided to the submitting authors.
- Post-publication: If an error or misconduct is confirmed after publication, an official Corrigendum, Erratum, or Article Retraction Notice will be issued, appended permanently to the Crossref DOI record.
