  • Criteria for Manuscripts: Authors must submit original research results that have not been published elsewhere. The importance of the research should be presented objectively.
  • Manuscript Originality, Plagiarism, and Source Confirmation: Authors must ensure the originality of the manuscript. Proper citation and permission are required when using documents or quotes from other sources.
  • Access and Storage of Data: Data and information in the research paper should be presented accurately for replicability. Authors should provide research data for editorial processes and make it publicly accessible. Data should be retained for a reasonable period after publication.
  • Multiple Articles: Authors should not publish manuscripts with the same research content in more than one journal or publication.
  • Conflict of Interest Declaration: Authors must disclose personal and financial relationships that could potentially influence the research project. Sources of financial support should be listed, and any lack of relevance should be declared.
  • Notification of Errors in Published Articles: Authors should promptly inform the Editorial Board of any errors discovered in published articles. If a third party notifies the Editorial Board of an error, authors must cooperate in providing evidence.
  1. Duties of Reviewers
  • Contribution to Editorial Decisions: The role of expert reviewers is to assist the Journal Editorial Board in making informed decisions throughout the editorial process. By providing specific comments on the research, reviewers aim to support authors and the Journal in enhancing the overall quality of the articles. If a reviewer, invited by the Journal, realizes that they do not possess the qualifications or standards to review the submitted research or deems the review unfeasible, they are obligated to promptly inform the Editorial Board. A refusal letter should be sent to decline participation in the Journal's review process.

  • Ethical Warning: Reviewers must remain vigilant regarding potential conflicts of interest associated with the article under review. Prompt notification to the Editorial Board is mandatory if any conflicts or significant overlaps between the manuscripts under review and previously published articles are identified.
  • Standards of Objectivity: The review process should be conducted with objectivity, devoid of personal bias towards the manuscript. Criticizing individual authors or authors submitting manuscripts is deemed inappropriate. If a reviewer suggests the inclusion of a citation from their own or a collaborator's research in the article, it should be for legitimate scientific reasons. This recommendation should not be aimed at inflating citation numbers or improving the overall quality of the article. Transparency in the reviewer's (or their collaborator's) research work is essential.
