Author Guideline

Authors Responsibilities

1-  The research being reported should have been conducted in an ethical and responsible manner and should comply with all relevant legislation

2-  Researchers should present their results clearly, honestly, and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation

3-  The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication

4-  Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study

5-  All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors

6-  Author(s) should not engage in plagiarism nor self-plagiarism.

7-  Authors are required to agree with this open access policy which enables unrestricted access and reuse of all published articles. 

8-  A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable. 

9-  Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review. and should be prepared to provide public access to such data, if practicable, and should, in any event, be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication. The authors are responsible for data reproducibility.

10-   The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. 

11-   An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable. In general, an author should not submit for consideration in another journal a previously published paper.

12-   When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author´s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.

Editors and reviewers will ensure that articles submitted to the journal are original studies which have not been submitted anywhere else. Manuscripts will be fairly and objectively reviewed; authors will receive corrections and suggestions relatively quickly depending on the availability and expertise of reviewers.
