Publication Ethics

Our proceeding is fully committed to the highest standards of publication ethics to ensure the quality, integrity, and transparency of all publication processes. This ethical policy applies to all parties involved: authors, editors, reviewers, and the publisher.

Authors' Responsibilities

Originality & Plagiarism: Authors must ensure work is original and not previously published elsewhere. Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, is strictly unacceptable.
Accuracy & Data: Research findings must be accurate and honest. Data manipulation, fabrication, or falsification is strictly prohibited.
Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest: Authors must disclose any financial or personal conflicts of interest that might influence results or interpretation.
Acknowledgement of Sources: All sources, including ideas, quotations, and external data, must be properly acknowledged and cited.
Authorship Criteria: Only individuals with substantial contributions to the research, design, analysis, or drafting should be listed as authors.
Multiple/Redundant Publication: Submitting manuscripts describing essentially the same research to more than one publication concurrently is unethical.
Errors in Published Works: Authors are obligated to promptly notify the editor to correct or retract any significant errors discovered post-publication.

Editors' Responsibilities

Publication Decisions: Editors hold final responsibility for publication decisions based strictly on scientific merit, originality, and scope relevance.
Confidentiality: Manuscript details must remain strictly confidential and disclosed only to the authors, assigned reviewers, and publisher.
Objectivity & Impartiality: Evaluation must be purely intellectual, without regard to authors' race, gender, belief, origin, citizenship, or political views.
Conflicts of Interest: Editors must recuse themselves from managing submissions where competitive, collaborative, or personal conflicts exist.
Retractions & Corrections: Prompt action will be taken on ethical concerns, working alongside the publisher to issue necessary corrections or retractions.

Reviewers' Responsibilities

Contribution to Decisions: Peer review assists editors in decision-making and supports authors in refining manuscript quality.
Promptness: Reviewers who feel unqualified or unable to provide a timely review must promptly notify the editor and decline the invitation.
Confidentiality: Manuscripts received for review are confidential documents and must not be shared or discussed with outside parties.
Objectivity: Reviews must be conducted objectively without personal criticism toward authors, supported by clear arguments.
Acknowledgement of Sources: Uncited relevant published work must be identified by reviewers with proper supporting citations.
Conflicts of Interest: Reviewers must decline evaluation of manuscripts involving financial, collaborative, or personal conflicts of interest.
