Publication ethics
Ethics-first scholarly publishing
We follow COPE guidelines to ensure integrity, transparency, and accountability in all published work.
Originality and plagiarism
Manuscripts are screened for similarity using plagiarism detection tools. Significant overlap, duplicate submissions, or fabricated content lead to rejection and editorial review.
Authorship and conflicts
All contributors must meet authorship criteria. Conflicts of interest are disclosed by authors, reviewers, and editors to maintain impartial review.
Ethical oversight
Research involving human participants or animals must include approval from the appropriate ethics committees and consent documentation.
Corrections and retractions
We publish corrections, clarifications, or retractions when necessary to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record.
