Scope and Purpose:
These policies serve to ensure the integrity of our interdisciplinary academic exchange and uphold the highest standards of scientific research and publication.
Responsibilities of Authors:
Originality and Plagiarism: Authors are expected to submit original work and appropriately cite content from other sources. Plagiarism in all its forms is unacceptable.
Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide raw data related to their manuscript for editorial review. Authors are also expected to ensure that their research data is appropriately anonymized (if applicable) and stored securely to protect participant privacy and confidentiality.
Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication: Authors should not publish the same research in more than one journal as original work.
Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given.
Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All co-authors must approve the final manuscript before submission.
Conflict of Interest Disclosure: Authors must disclose any financial, personal, or professional relationships that could inappropriately influence (or appear to influence) their research or its interpretation. This information will be reviewed by the editorial team and published in the final article, typically in the "Acknowledgments" section.
