2. Data Access:

Authors must provide the primary data related to the paper for editorial review when necessary.

The authors need to confirm that they have published entirely original works. If the authors have used the work and/or words of others, the author should cite and reference the other authors accordingly.

4. Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication:

Manuscripts containing essentially the same research work should not be published in more than one journal or primary publication as it is assumed dishonest and inexcusable publishing behavior.

5. Acknowledgement of Sources:

It is an obligation to provide proper acknowledgement for work of others. The authors have to cite the articles that influenced the characteristics of the reported work.

6. Authorship of the Paper:

Authorship, which involves listing specific individuals as co-authors, must be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. Meanwhile, contributors or co-authors should be noted or identified exclusively for those participating in particular research projects' substantive aspects. The corresponding author needs to guarantee that only eligible co-authors should be included in the paper. These individuals have seen and accepted the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

7. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest:

All Authors have to expose any cash flow and other meaningful potential conflicts of interest that could be perceived to affect the results of their manuscript's interpretation. Furthermore, all sources of funding should be reported for the research work.

8. Fundamental errors in published works:

Any significant error or inaccuracy in the published work discovered by the author should be retracted and corrected by directly notifying the journal's editor or publisher.

9. Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects:

In the manuscript, the author should explicitly define whether the study contains dangerous substances, processes, or devices that pose unusual hazards in their use.

Furthermore, the editor may consult with other editors or reviewers to resolve the decisions.

5. Review of Manuscripts:

The editor must guarantee that every manuscript's composition has been assessed for authenticity while organizing and utilizing peer review reasonably and wisely. Furthermore, the editor needs to clarify to the authors about the peer review processes and identify which aspects of the article have been peer-reviewed.

DUTIES OF REVIEWERS

1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions:

Peer review helps the editor determine editorial choices and helps the authors refining the paper through editorial discussions.

2. Promptness:

Any chosen reviewer who feels unfit to observe the research work in a manuscript or recognizes that an immediate review would not be possible must notify the editor and not furtherly take part in the review process.

3. Standards of Objectivity:

Reviews need to be carried out objectively, personal judgment is inappropriate, and the reviewer must express their viewpoints explicitly with supporting information.

Moreover, reviewers do not need to evaluate manuscripts with conflict of interest because of collaborative competition or other association or connection with any authors, businesses, or organizations.

6. Acknowledgement of Sources:

Reviewers should differentiate between similar published articles that the authors have not referred to.

Finally, reviewers need to again bring to the editor's notice any overlap or noticeable similarity between the manuscript under scrutiny and any other published articles they know personally.
