The journal is committed to promoting ethical publishing and maintaining the integrity of the scientific record. Authors are expected to submit original work that has not been published elsewhere or simultaneously submitted to another journal.
The journal does not accept plagiarism, fabricated or falsified data, duplicate publication, inappropriate image manipulation, citation manipulation, or any other form of research misconduct.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that all reported data are accurate, honestly presented, and supported by appropriate evidence. If ethical concerns arise before or after publication, the Editorial Office may investigate the matter and take appropriate editorial action, including manuscript rejection, publication of corrections, or article withdrawal when necessary.
