The journal follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to ensure integrity, transparency, and accountability throughout the publication process.

• Authors must submit original, unpublished work and ensure that their manuscripts do not contain fabricated, falsified, or plagiarized content. Authors are required to properly acknowledge the contributions of others and disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

• Editors are responsible for making fair, unbiased decisions based on the manuscript’s academic merit, without regard to the authors’ race, gender, affiliation, or nationality. Editors must maintain confidentiality and prevent any misuse of submitted materials.

• Reviewers are expected to provide objective, constructive, and timely feedback. They must respect confidentiality, declare any conflicts of interest, and avoid using privileged information obtained during the review process.
