The order in which the contributors are named should show their individual contribution to the research and production of the manuscript. Without the explicit agreement of all contributors, the order of the text cannot be altered after it is submitted.

Anti-Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism is defined as the unlawful copying, theft, publishing and the representation of another author’s language, expressions and ideas as one’s own original work. Such unethical copying is highly condemned by the journal.

Plagiarism: what does it mean?

  1. Using someone else’s thoughts or ideas without citing them
  2. Submitting someone else’s work as your own
  3. Adding your name to someone else’s paper
  4. Changing words but duplicating a source’s phrase structure without providing credit
  5. Giving false information regarding a quotation’s source
  6. Failure to use quotation marks around a quote
  7. Attention! Plagiarism cannot be avoided by simply changing the wording of an original source. You have plagiarized if you have kept the basic concept of an original source and have not credited it, no matter how dramatically you have changed its context or presentation. The majority of incidents of plagiarism, however, may be prevented simply crediting sources. Plagiarism is typically avoided by simply stating that specific content has been taken and giving your readers with the information they need to locate the source.

Declaration of Non-Plagiarism

By submitting an article to the Journal for publication. The writers (all of the article’s authors) confirm that:

  1. Plagiarism is the exploitation of another person’s idea or published work and pretending that it is one’s own. Authors are well aware that plagiarism is unlawful and unethical.
  2. Authors certify that each contribution to their paper or project has been recognized, and they reference all information from other people’s works.
  3. The author(s) affirm that they/you are entirely responsible for the article’s text and work, as well as any missing references.

Peer Review Policy

All research papers, as well as the majority of other types of publications, published in this Journal are subjected to rigorous peer review. Two independent peer reviewers are generally involved in this process. An Editor evaluates all entries to this Journal and determines whether they are acceptable for peer review. When an Editor is listed as an author or has a conflicting interest in a submission, another member of the Editorial Board will be appointed to handle peer review. Submissions that are deemed acceptable for consideration will be forwarded to competent independent experts for peer assessment. Editors will make a choice based on the reviewers’ reports, which will be given to authors together with their manuscript’s editorial decision. Authors should be aware that even if one reviewer’s assessment is good, another reviewer’s objections may fundamentally undermine the study and lead to the article being rejected.

Peer Reviewers

it is at the author’s discretion to recommend possible reviewers; nevertheless, the Editor has the final say on whether or not to consider these reviewers. Authors should avoid recommending colleagues from the same institution or recent collaborators. Authors who wish to recommend peer reviewers should indicate so in the cover letter, and also include institutional email addresses or other information that will assist the Editor in verifying the reviewer’s identity, where necessary.

Authors can request that persons be removed as peer reviewers, but they must explain why in their cover letter during submission. Authors should not omit too many people from peer review since this will impede the process. Please keep in mind that the Editor may decide to invite peer reviewers who have previously been excluded. Falsifying information on purpose, such as recommending reviewers with a fake name or email address, will result in the article being rejected and may lead to additional inquiry under our misconduct policy.
