Publication Ethics

Ethical Commitment

The journal follows internationally accepted publication ethics principles and expects authors, reviewers and editors to maintain integrity, transparency and accountability.

Authors

Authors must submit original work, disclose conflicts of interest, report funding sources, obtain ethical approval when required and ensure that all listed authors have contributed to the work.

Reviewers

Reviewers must provide objective, confidential, evidence-based and timely comments. Reviewers should decline assignments if they have a conflict of interest or insufficient expertise.

Editors

Editors are responsible for fair editorial decisions, confidentiality, conflict management and correction of the academic record when needed.

Research Integrity

Fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, duplicate submission, inappropriate authorship and undisclosed conflicts may lead to rejection, withdrawal, correction or retraction.
