Author Responsibility

1.

Reporting Standards:

The author who writes the research report must present an accurate report of the work done and discuss the purpose of the research significance. The underlying data must be explained accurately in the research report text. The research report must contain enough detail and references to enable others to emulate the work. Reports containing fraud or intentions regarding inaccurate data are unethical and unacceptable behavior.

2.

Data Access and Retention:

If needed, the author is asked to provide raw data related to editorial needs. The author must be prepared to provide the data within a predetermined time period.

3.

Originality and Plagiarism:

The author must ensure that the work written is entirely original and if the author uses the work and / or sentences of others it must use citations or be quoted properly.

4.

Double publishing or similarity of content:

An author should not publish manuscripts that describe the same research essence in more than one journal or publisher. Sending the same text to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.

5.

Source Recognition:

Proper recognition of the work of others must always be given. Authors must cite publications or ideas that have influence in determining the nature of the work reported.

6.

Report Compiler:

The names of authors listed should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the concept, design, implementation, or interpretation of the research reported. All people who have contributed significantly must be registered as co-authors. Parties who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project must be recognized or registered as contributors. The lead author must ensure that the co-authors whose names are listed in the report are those that are truly eligible to be included, and that all co-authors have seen and agreed to the final version of the report and have agreed to publish the report.

7.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest:

All authors must disclose in the text of the report any financial or substantive conflict of interest that might be expected to affect the results or interpretation of the draft text.

8.

A fundamental error in the published work:

When the authors find significant errors or inaccuracies in the published work, the author is obliged to immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and work with the editor to withdraw or correct the work.

9.

Risk and Humans as Subjects:

If the research involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that are at high risk in their use, the author must mention this in the report text.

1.

Contribution to Editorial Decisions:

Peer review helps the editor in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with the author can also help the author in improving the quality of the manuscript.

Accuracy:

Any reviewer who is selected but feels ineligible to review the research reported in the manuscript or knows that a quick review is impossible is required to notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Objectivity Standards:

Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism from the author is inappropriate. Reviewers must express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

4.

Confidentiality:

Every script accepted for review must be a confidential document. Manuscripts may not be displayed or discussed with others unless authorized by the editor.

Source Recognition:

The reviewer must identify the work that has been published that is relevant but has not been cited by the author. A statement that observations, derivations, or arguments that have been previously reported must be accompanied by relevant citations. Reviewers must also increase the attention of editors regarding the substantial similarities or overlaps between the reviewed manuscripts and any other published papers that they are aware of.
