Authors Responsibilities

Originality and Plagiarism: Authors are responsible for ensuring that their work is entirely original. Any work or words of others have to be appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism in any form constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data of their study together with the paper for editorial review and should be prepared to make the data publicly available if practicable.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently is unethical publishing behavior. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal.

Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the reported work and that give the work appropriate context within the larger scholarly record.

Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

Note: The role of an author in scientific publishing is crucial. Their work contributes to the advancement of science and upholds the integrity of the scientific record.
