Charge of the authors

Originality and plagiarism

Authors must ensure that they have written a completely original work. If the authors used the work and/or words of other authors, this should be appropriately cited or indicated in the references. Plagiarism in all its forms is unethical behavior and is unacceptable.

 

Reusable, redundant or parallel publications

An author should not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal. Submitting a manuscript to more than one journal at the same time is unethical behavior and is unacceptable. The author must not submit previously published works for consideration in another journal.

 

Data access and storage

If requested by the editors, if possible, authors should provide original data for review, should be willing to make those data available to the public, and in any case should be willing to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

 

Attribution of sources

Works by other authors should always be credited. Authors must cite publications that have had a significant influence on the subject of the work. Information obtained through confidential services, such as reviewing manuscripts or grant applications, should not be used without written permission from the author of the work associated with these services.

 

Authorship of the article

Authorship should be limited to those who made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the published research. Anyone who has made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. If there are other persons who participated in some significant aspects of the research project, they should be listed in the acknowledgments or listed as co-authors.

The submitting author must ensure that all relevant co-authors are included in the article and that all co-authors have approved the final version of the article and agreed to submit it for publication.

 

Discovery and Conflict of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other major conflict of interest that may influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support must be disclosed.

 

Fundamental errors in published works

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his own published work, he must immediately inform the editors of the journal and cooperate with the editors to remove or correct the article. If the editors learn from a third party that the published work contains significant errors, the author is obliged to promptly refuse publication or correct the article, or provide the editors with evidence of the correctness of the original article.
