Duties of Authors
Reporting Integrity:
Authors conducting original research are expected to provide an accurate account of their work and results, followed by an objective discussion of its significance. The manuscript should offer sufficient detail and references to enable replication. Review articles must be accurate, objective, and comprehensive, while opinion pieces should be explicitly identified. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements are considered unethical.
Data Access and Preservation:
Authors might be requested to furnish the raw data associated with their paper for editorial evaluation, and they should be ready to grant public access to this data. This accessibility not only facilitates transparency and reproducibility in research but also allows other scholars to scrutinize and build upon the findings presented in the paper. It's imperative for authors to ensure that the provided data is well-documented, properly organized, and available through appropriate channels such as institutional repositories or data archives. This practice contributes to the advancement of knowledge and the credibility of academic research.
Originality and Plagiarism:
Authors must submit entirely original works and appropriately cite any borrowed content. Plagiarism, in various forms, is unethical and unacceptable, encompassing presenting others' work as one's own or copying without attribution.
Rejection Criteria:
Your manuscript may face rejection if it lacks proper structure, detailed information for reader comprehension, new scientific contributions, clarity in distinguishing new and existing knowledge, up-to-date references, and robust support for theories or conclusions. Insufficient experimental details hindering reproducibility or poor experimental design may also lead to rejection.
