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.
