Publication Ethics

Journal of Nano Materials Impact (NanoMatImp) adheres to a robust ethical policy and publication malpractice statement, which is firmly rooted in the Code of Conduct and Best-Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors as stipulated by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) in 2011. This policy aligns with the standards established by the NanoMatImp Editorial Board. All individuals associated with NanoMatImp, including readers, authors, reviewers, and editors, are expected to comply with these ethical guidelines. The ethical policy of NanoMatImp also guides the selection of research papers or articles for publication in the relevant issue.
