Fairness

Editors must evaluate manuscripts based on their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors, 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Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor’s research without the explicit written consent of the author.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and can also help authors improve their manuscripts.

Promptness

Reviewers who feel unqualified to review the research in a manuscript or know that prompt review will not be possible should notify the editor and excuse themselves from the review process.

Objectivity Standards

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly and support their arguments.

Recognition of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work not cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported should be accompanied by a relevant citation. Reviewers should also notify the editor if they discover any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper.

Duties of Authors

Reporting Standards

Authors should present an accurate account of the research performed and an objective discussion of its significance. Data underlying the research should be accurately represented in the manuscript.

Data Access and Retention

Authors may be asked to provide raw data in connection with their manuscript for editorial review and should be prepared to provide public access to such data if possible.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that their work is entirely original, and if they have used the work or words of others, this must be appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

Authors should not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously constitutes unethical behavior and is unacceptable.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works

If authors discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their own published work, they must promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate to retract or correct the paper.
