Publication Ethics |
Duties
of Authors

author must ensure that the submitted paper or work has
never been previously published.
-
The author must present an accurate and true factual information
derived from the research in the submitted paper without
any manipulation or false presentation of the information.
-
If the author uses the work and/or words of other authors
or researchers, they must be appropriately cited or quoted.
-
The author must comply with Manuscript Preparations Instructions
when preparing the manuscript.

contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation
of the reported research or study.
-
The author must provide the name of the institution or person(s)
who provided research grants (If any).
-
The author must detail vested interest (If any).
Duties
of Editors
- The
editors are responsible for assessing the quality papers
submitted publication.
-
The editors must not reveal the identity of the author(s)
and the reviewers to others during the assessment processes.
-
The editors must arrive at a decision about which paper
to be published based on its intellectual contents that
are in accordance with the policies of the journal.
-
The editors must not publish any paper that has been previously
published elsewhere.
-
The editors must not reject any paper simply because they
have doubts or uncertainties about any part of the submitted
paper. They must find concrete evidence to resolve doubts
or uncertainties.
-
The editors must not defend or act in their own interest
or the interest of the author(s), reviewers, and administrative
board.
-
The editors must make sure no plagiarism is committed, using
reliable plagiarism detection programs/tools.
-
In case plagiarism is discovered, the editors must stop
assessing the submitted paper and contact the corresponding
author immediately seeking explanation for any part of the
paper deemed plagiarized before deciding whether the paper
is accepted or rejected.
Duties
of the Reviewers
- The
reviewers must keep all the information of the submitted
paper confidential and must not reveal any part of the submitted
paper to anyone other than those involved in the reviewing
processes.
-
After receiving a paper, reviewers may discover that they
have vested interest in the submitted paper in that they
are co-authors, know the author(s) personally. In such cases,
they should inform the editors of this occurrence and should
disqualify themselves from being reviewers.
-
Reviewers should evaluate submitted papers in disciplines
in which they specialize, taking into account intellectual
contents of the paper, its data analysis, and substantive
contents of the research article. They must refrain from
using their own groundless, personal judgement to evaluate
submitted papers.
-
In the evaluation processes, the reviewers must point out
significant studies that are significantly related to the
submitted paper but the author fail to include or mention
in his or her submitted paper. The reviewers are encouraged
to inform the editors of any similarities between the submitted
paper and other papers/studies.
