Publication Ethics
The ethics of publishing an article in a scientific journal is an important consideration. This is necessary to standardize ethical behavior for all parties involved in the publication of this scientific journal, namely: authors, editors, and reviewers.
AUTHORS
1. Reporting Standards: Authors must present accurate reports and data from their research results. The research article must contain detailed information and sufficient references. Intentional misrepresentation of the content of a manuscript is unethical and unacceptable.
2. Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure the originality of their work and provide clear information/sources when using quotations. Authors are not permitted to publish their research manuscripts in more than one journal, as submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals concurrently is unethical and unacceptable.
3. Acknowledgement of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be included. Authors must cite publications that have been used as the basis for their scientific work.
4. Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those researchers who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All researchers who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Researchers who participated in substantive aspects of the research should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The primary author should ensure that co-authors are appropriately included on the list of authors, and all authors must have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript to be published.
5. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Each author should disclose in their manuscript any substantive financial or other interest that might be construed to influence the results of the manuscript.
6. Fundamental Errors in Published Works: If the author discovers an error or inaccuracy in their published work, they are expected to notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
EDITORS
1. Publication decisions: The editor is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the editorial board should be published. Editors may refer to the journal's editorial board policies and are constrained by any legal requirements then in force regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The editors may also confer with other editors or reviewers in making these decisions.
2. Fair play: The editor may evaluate manuscripts without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
3. Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, editorial advisers, and the publisher.
4. Disclosure and conflicts of interest: Materials in a submitted manuscript that are not published in a journal must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.
REVIEWERS
1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Reviewers assist the editor in making editorial decisions and, through the editorial communications with the author, may assist the author in improving the manuscript. Reviewers are also expected to provide suggestions for improving the review results.
2. Promptness: Any reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or to review the manuscript expeditiously should notify the editor and not be involved in the review process. Invited reviewers should also confirm their willingness to review the article.
3. Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except with the permission of the editor.
4. Standards of Objectivity: Reviews must be conducted objectively. Authors should not engage in self-criticism. Reviewers should clearly state the results of their review along with supporting arguments.
5. Acknowledgement of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that the authors have not cited. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers should also coordinate with the editors regarding substantial similarity between the manuscript under consideration and any other published articles known to the editors and reviewers.
6. Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Information or ideas obtained from peer reviewers must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts due to a conflict of interest, collaboration, or other relationship with any of the authors, companies, or institutions.
