Publication Ethics
The journal enforces strict scientific integrity, based on the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
- Authors: must guarantee originality, cite all sources, avoid multiple submissions, and declare conflicts of interest.
- Reviewers: must provide objective, constructive, and confidential feedback within given deadlines.
- Editors: must ensure transparency of the editorial process, impartiality of decisions, and publish corrections or retractions in cases of fraud or error.
Prohibited practices such as plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data manipulation or falsification, and duplicate publication result in sanctions ranging from immediate rejection to article retraction.
