PUBLICATION ETHICS
Reporting Standards:
Research reports prepared by authors must present accurate accounts of the research conducted and discuss the research objectives. Data used as the foundation must be accurately described in the research report. Research reports must contain sufficient details and references to enable others to follow the work. Deceptive reports or deliberately presenting inaccurate data is unethical behavior and unacceptable.
Data Access and Retention:
When required, authors should be able to provide raw data related to editorial needs. Authors must be able to provide data within a certain time period.
Originality and Plagiarism:
Authors must ensure that written work is original, and when using others' work and/or sentences, they must use proper citations or quotations.
Multiple Publications or Content Similarity:
An author is not allowed to publish the same research manuscript in more than one journal or publisher. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical behavior and unacceptable.
Source Acknowledgment:
There must always be acknowledgment of others' work that becomes a source. Authors must cite publications or ideas that support the reported work.
Report Compilation:
Author names should only be those who made significant contributions to the concept, design, implementation, or interpretation of the reported research. All contributors should be listed as co-authors. Parties who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The lead author must ensure that co-authors listed in the report are those who truly qualify for inclusion, and all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final report and agreed to publish the report.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest:
All authors must disclose in the report manuscript any financial conflicts or substantive conflicts of interest that might be expected to affect the results or interpretation of the report text.
Fundamental Errors in Published Work: Whenever authors discover errors or inaccuracies in published work, authors are obligated to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher to withdraw or correct the work in cooperation with the editor.
Risks and Humans or Animals as Subjects:
If the research process contains high risks, authors must mention it in the report manuscript.
