All sources of financial support for the research must be disclosed in the manuscript to ensure transparency.
Confidentiality
Editors, reviewers, and editorial staff must treat all submitted manuscripts as confidential documents and use unpublished information only for editorial purposes.
Citation Ethics
The journal strictly prohibits citation manipulation, including excessive self-citation, coercive citation, citation swapping, or inappropriate requests to increase citation counts.
Research Misconduct
Allegations of plagiarism, duplicate publication, data fabrication, falsification, unethical research, or other forms of misconduct will be investigated in accordance with COPE guidelines. Appropriate editorial actions, including corrections, retractions, or notifications to relevant institutions, may be taken where necessary.
Ethical Approval and Informed Consent
Research involving human participants or animals must have prior approval from an appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee. Authors must state the approval details and describe how informed consent was obtained from participants where applicable.
