Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics we consider while publishing:

Authorship of the paper: We encourage the transparency about the contributions of authors in the submission. Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study.

Originality and plagiarism: The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original research works. If the authors have used the work of others, which this has to be appropriately cited or quoted.

Data access and retention: Yet times authors may be requested to provide the raw data in relation to the submitted article for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data.

Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication: An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. We do not consider the following uses of a work as prior publication: publication in the form of an abstract; publication as an academic thesis; publication as an electronic print.

Acknowledgement of sources: While submitting the manuscript proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be mentioned accordingly.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest: All submissions must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest.

Fundamental errors in published works: After submitting the manuscript if the author discovers an important error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's responsibility to promptly inform the journal publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper accordingly.

Human or animal subjects: We request for submission of statements of compliance if the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, or if it involves the use of animal or human subjects.

Use of patient images or case studies: If the submitted article involves studies on patients or volunteers, it requires ethics committee approval and informed consent from patients or volunteers, which should be documented in the paper.
