Roles and Responsibilities

All submissions undergo a fair and objective double-blind peer review process. The journal takes all reasonable measures to prevent conflicts of interest between authors, reviewers, and editors. Any ethical concerns or deviations from these principles should be reported directly to the Editors, who are committed to addressing such matters promptly and transparently.

Publisher Responsibilities

The publisher supports the editorial team, authors, and reviewers and ensures that the publication process operates smoothly and ethically in accordance with established standards.

Editor Responsibilities

Editors are responsible for ensuring a confidential, fair, and timely peer review process. Editorial decisions are based on the scholarly merit, originality, clarity, and relevance of the manuscript. Editors must recuse themselves from handling manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest and must not use unpublished material for their own research.

Reviewer Responsibilities

Reviewers are expected to evaluate manuscripts objectively and confidentially. Reviewers must disclose any conflicts of interest, avoid personal criticism of authors, and notify the editor of any ethical concerns, including suspected plagiarism or data falsification.

Author Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for the originality, accuracy, and integrity of their work. All sources must be properly cited, and any conflicts of interest must be disclosed. Authors must ensure that all contributors who meet authorship criteria are appropriately listed and that all co-authors approve the final manuscript. Authors are required to cooperate with editors in correcting or retracting articles if significant errors are identified after publication.
