Peer Review Integrity

Peer review is a cornerstone of scholarly publishing, ensuring the validity, significance, and originality of research. The publication commits to upholding the integrity of this process by ensuring that all manuscripts are evaluated fairly, confidentially, and impartially. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise and are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. Additionally, the journal will implement mechanisms to detect and prevent any unethical behaviors in the peer review process, such as peer pressure or coercion, to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity.

Authorship and Collaboration

The publication recognizes the importance of accurately reflecting the contributions of each author. Guidelines for authorship should clearly define criteria for inclusion as an author, emphasizing significant intellectual contribution to the work, participation in drafting or revising the manuscript, and approval of the final version. Furthermore, the journal encourages transparency in collaborations, including the acknowledgment of contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship and the disclosure of any financial or non-financial interests that may influence the research outcomes.

Conflict of Interest

To preserve the credibility and trustworthiness of published research, the publication requires authors, reviewers, and editors to disclose any relationships or activities that might bias their work. This includes financial interests, such as patents or consultancy, personal relationships, or academic competition. The journal will publish any declared conflicts of interest alongside the articles to ensure readers are aware of any potential sources of bias. In cases where a significant conflict exists, the journal may take steps to mitigate its impact, including employing additional reviewers or editors to ensure an unbiased review process.

Ensuring Ethical Compliance

To further the commitment to ethical publishing, the journal will establish an ethics committee responsible for overseeing adherence to these guidelines. This committee will review reported violations, offer guidance on ethical dilemmas, and recommend actions to maintain the integrity of the publication process. By fostering a culture of ethical awareness and accountability, the publication aims to contribute positively to the scholarly community and uphold the public's trust in academic research.
