Publication Ethics

This journal is committed to upholding scientific integrity for all published manuscripts. This journal will follow the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines to ensure the scientific integrity of the publication. To maintaining integrity of their research and publications, authors are requested to follow the rules of good scientific practice which include:

1. Authors should report an original research and present their results without any fabrication or inappropriate data manipulation. If authors use works of other parties, a permit to replicate the works is required.
2. Authors must ensure that their manuscript is original and do not indicate any plagiarism. The limit for similarity is at most 20%. In order to properly acknowledge the works of other researchers, please follow the APA Guidelines for citation and reference.
3. Approval from all co-authors and, if any, responsible authorities is required before submitting the manuscript.
4. It is strictly prohibited to submit a manuscript which has been published elsewhere or is under consideration for publication anywhere. Multiple publications from a single research project should be clearly identified and the primary publication should be referenced.
5. To avoid conflict of interest, authors should clearly be mentioned in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might influence the results of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
6. Authors agree to take responsibility for the contents of their manuscript.
