Publication Ethics

The journal adheres to the standards of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and applies strict policies on scientific integrity.

  • Authors must submit original work, properly cite all sources, avoid simultaneous submissions, and declare any conflicts of interest.
  • Reviewers must provide objective, constructive, and confidential feedback within the assigned deadlines.
  • Editors must guarantee transparency and impartiality in the editorial process and issue corrections or retractions in cases of fraud or error.

Prohibited practices—including plagiarism, self-plagiarism, falsification or manipulation of data, and duplicate publication—lead to sanctions ranging from immediate rejection to retraction of published articles.
