Reporting standards

Authors of original research should present an accurate and honest report of the work done and its results, followed by an objective discussion of the significance of the research. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to enable others to replicate the manuscript. Any review of the manuscript should be accurate, objective and comprehensive with the support of clearly identifiable perspectives. Unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior is to provide deliberately false, inaccurate, and unsubstantiated statements.

Data access and retention

Raw research data, along with the manuscript for editorial review, may be requested. Authors should be prepared to make such data publicly available if possible. Authors should ensure the accessibility of such data to other competent professionals under any circumstances for at least 10 (ten) years after publication (it is recommended that data be stored through institutional or subject-based data repositories or other data centers), provided that participant confidentiality can be protected. Legal rights regarding proprietary data do not preclude their release. Unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior is providing data that does not match what is reported.

Originality and plagiarism

Authors should ensure and declare (signed declaration) that the submitted manuscript is entirely original, that if they use the paper and words of others, these have been properly cited (citing the appropriate author and year) and provide appropriate source data in the bibliography (the list of sources listed should be searchable). Authors should also cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the manuscript reported in the manuscript. Passing off someone else's manuscript as one's own, copying or paraphrasing significant parts of someone else's manuscript (without citing and providing appropriate source data in the bibliography), and claiming the results of research conducted by others are acts of plagiarism. Plagiarism can also occur in various forms that are not mentioned above. Unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior is to unlawfully take part or all of the papers of others in all their forms.

Multiple, duplicate, redundant, or concurrent submission/publication

Authors should not submit manuscripts that have been published in other journals for consideration, as manuscripts describing essentially the same research should not be published in more than one journal or major publication. Authors should only submit a manuscript to one journal or other form of publication. Unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior is the simultaneous submission of a manuscript (either at the same time or at different times) to more than one journal or other publication. Publication of some types of paper in more than one journal or other publication may sometimes be justified, provided that the authors and editors of the journals concerned must approve the secondary publication. The secondary publication should reflect the same data and interpretation of the primary document. Primary references must be cited in the secondary publication. It is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior to intentionally leave the primary publication out of the references in the secondary publication.

 

Authorship of the manuscript

The only people who can be listed as authors on a manuscript are those who meet the criteria for authorship and are able to take public responsibility for the content: (i) made a significant contribution to the analysis/interpretation of the manuscript, acquisition of data, execution, design, or conception; (ii) have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and approved its submission for publication; and (iii) drafted the manuscript or critically revised it for important intellectual content. Any person or entity that made a substantial contribution to the manuscript reported in the manuscript (such as technical assistance, writing and editing assistance, and general support) but does not meet the authorship criteria should not be listed as an author but should be mentioned in the "Acknowledgement" section once their written permission to be named has been obtained. Corresponding authors should ensure that all co-authors who fit the authorship criteria are listed and that no co-authors who do not fit the authorship criteria are listed. Corresponding authors should also verify that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and agree to its submission for publication. Unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior is the deliberate inclusion of people who do not meet the authorship criteria.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Authors should disclose as early as possible any conflicts of interest that might be construed to affect their results or interpretations in the manuscript (generally by submitting the disclosure at the time of submission and including a statement in the manuscript or with the manuscript). Examples of potential conflicts of interest that should be disclosed include financial conflicts of interest such as grants (educational or other funding), honoraria, participation in speaker's bureaus, memberships, employment, consultancies, stock ownership, or other equity interests, paid expert testimony or patent licenses, arrangements and non-financial such as personal or professional relationships, affiliations, knowledge or beliefs in the subject matter or material covered in the manuscript. All sources of financial support for the work should be disclosed in the "Acknowledgement" section (including grant numbers or other reference numbers if applicable). Unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior is for authors to omit sources of support information in the manuscript intentionally.

 Acknowledgement of sources

Authors should ensure that they have properly acknowledged the paper of others and should also cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the reported manuscript, i.e., by properly citing (including the appropriate author and year) and providing appropriate source data in the bibliography (the list of sources listed should be searchable). Information obtained privately (from conversations, correspondence, or discussions with third parties) must not be used or reported without clear, written permission from the source. Authors should not use information obtained in the course of providing confidential services, such as grant applications, unless they have obtained clear written permission from the authors of the manuscripts involved in these services. Unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior is not properly citing and intentionally providing incorrect source data.

Hazards and human or animal subjects

Authors should clearly identify in the manuscript if the manuscript involves chemicals, procedures, or equipment that have unusual hazards in their use. Unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior is providing inaccurate information or disguising information on the use of chemicals, procedures, or equipment that have unusual hazards. Authors should ensure and be able to communicate (the manuscript should contain a statement) that all procedures were performed in accordance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and that the relevant institutional committee has approved the manuscript if the work involves the use of animals or humans. Authors should also include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experiments with human participants. The privacy rights of human participants should always be observed. Unethical and unacceptable publishing behaviors include engaging in unlawful conduct involving animals and knowingly providing information without informed consent for human participants.

Fundamental errors in published works

Authors should notify the journal editor or publisher immediately when they discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their published paper. Authors should work with the journal editor or publisher to correct the paper in error or withdraw the paper. Suppose the editor or publisher learns from a third party that a published paper contains errors or significant inaccuracies. In that case, the author must immediately correct or withdraw the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the paper. Unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior is deliberately failing to inform journal editors or publishers if authors discover significant errors or inaccuracies in their published papers.
