Below is a summary of our key expectations of editors, peer-reviewers, and authors.

Author’s Responsibilities

Reporting Standards
Researchers are expected to present their findings transparently, accurately, and without engaging in fabrication, falsification, or improper manipulation of data. They must include sufficient methodological detail, covering aspects such as research design, sample selection, data collection methods, analysis techniques, and relevant references, so that other scholars can replicate or build upon their work if necessary.

Originality and Plagiarism
Authors must submit only original work that has not been copied or plagiarized. Any use of others' ideas, words, or results must be properly acknowledged through appropriate citation or direct quotation.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
Manuscripts that present the same or substantially similar research should not be submitted to multiple journals simultaneously. Duplicate submissions or publications are considered unethical practices and are strictly prohibited.

Acknowledgement of Sources
All sources of financial support and any assistance that contributed significantly to the research must be properly acknowledged within the manuscript.

Authorship of the Paper
Only individuals who have made meaningful contributions to the research process and the preparation of the manuscript should be credited as authors. Those who contributed to only some specific aspects but not to the entire study should be recognized in the acknowledgments section.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Authors must declare any financial, institutional, or personal relationships that could be perceived as influencing the research outcomes or interpretations. Funding sources must also be transparently disclosed.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works
If an author identifies a serious error or omission in their published work, they have a duty to immediately inform the journal’s editor and collaborate to issue a correction or retraction as appropriate.

Reviewer's Responsibilities

Peer Review Policy
Submissions first undergo editorial screening. Suitable manuscripts are then evaluated by two independent reviewers under a double-blind peer review process. Editorial Board members' submissions are subject to the same rigorous evaluation.

Contribution to Editorial Decision
Reviewers assist editors by providing feedback that helps guide publication decisions. Additionally, they offer constructive comments aimed at improving the quality and clarity of the manuscript.

Confidentiality
Reviewers must treat the received manuscript as confidential document. The manuscript must not be shown to, or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity
Reviewers should express their views objectively and clearly with supporting arguments. There shall be no personal criticism of the author.

Acknowledgement of Source
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. Reviewers should also should notify the editor if there is any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Editor's Responsibilities
Confidentiality
The Editors 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. 

Editorial independence
The Editors are autonomous for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. Editors evaluate submitted manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit (importance, originality, study’s validity, clarity) and its relevance to the journal’s scope, regardless of the authors’ gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, religious identity, political tendency or affiliation. They also ensure that all submitted manuscripts being considered for publication undergo peer-review by at least two reviewers who are expert in the field.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used by anyone who has a view of the manuscript in his or her own research without the express written consent of the author.

Involvement and cooperation in investigations
The Editors should guard the integrity of the published record by issuing corrections and retractions when needed and pursuing suspected or alleged research and publication misconduct.

• The Editors may discuss with other editors or reviewers in making decisions
