STATEMENT

This document outlines the ethical standards expected of all parties involved in the publication process of an article in this journal, including the Author, Editorial Team, Reviewer, and Publisher. The journal requires all participants to understand and adhere to this ethical policy before submitting a manuscript or agreeing to review one. Any form of copyright infringement or publishing malpractice is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. This statement is informed by the Core Practices of COPE.

DUTIES OF AUTHORS

Reporting Standards

Authors reporting original research should provide an accurate description of the work carried out and an impartial discussion of its relevance. The underlying data should be accurately reflected in the manuscript, and sufficient detail and references should be provided to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or intentionally inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention

Authors may be asked to supply the raw data associated with their manuscript for editorial review and should be ready to provide it within a reasonable timeframe.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original, and if they have used the work or words of others, proper citation or quotation is required.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

Authors should not submit manuscripts describing the same research to more than one journal simultaneously, as doing so is unethical and unacceptable.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of others' work must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the reported research.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. All individuals who have contributed substantially should be listed as co-authors. Others who have participated in certain significant aspects of the research project should be acknowledged as contributors. The corresponding author must ensure that all appropriate co-authors are included and that they have all approved the final version of the paper and agreed to its submission.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantial conflicts of interest that could be perceived as influencing the results or interpretation of their research. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works

If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they are obligated to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

DUTIES OF REVIEWERS

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review helps the editor in making editorial decisions and, through communications with the author, can assist in improving the manuscript.

Promptness

If a selected referee feels unqualified to review the research in a manuscript or is unable to conduct the review promptly, they should notify the editor and withdraw from the review process.

Confidentiality

Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential. They should not be shared with or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate, and referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Reviewers should identify any relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. If any observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported, it should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers should also inform the editor of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper they are aware of.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal benefit. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the papers.

DUTIES OF EDITORS

Fair Play

Editors eval_uate manuscripts based on their intellectual content, without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.

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, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.

Publication Decisions

The journal's editorial board is responsible for deciding which of the submitted articles should be published. The decision will be based on the work's importance to readers, the validation of the research, the reviewers' comments, and any applicable legal requirements regarding copyright, libel, and plagiarism. This decision may also involve consultation with other reviewers and editors.

Review of Manuscripts

The editor must ensure that each manuscript is initially eval_uated for originality. The editor should organize and conduct the peer review process fairly and efficiently, explaining the peer review process to authors and indicating which parts of the journal are peer-reviewed. The editor should select appropriate peer reviewers who have the necessary expertise and avoid those with conflicts of interest.
