Confidentiality
All articles are treated as confidential by reviewers. Do not talk or share the article with anybody unless the Editor in Chief grants them permission to do so.

Standards of Objectivity
Reviews must be objective and are based on real clear, evidence backed arguments. The authors are not worthy of any personal attacks. Article reviewers should offer opinions to enhance the article’s quality which are non spurious and as unbiased as possible.

Duties of Authors

Reporting Standards
Authors are expected to present a truthful and accurate representation of their research – including methodologies and finding – but also they should make a truthful representation of their overall project. They must also make sure the work they carry out was free of fabrication, falsification or inappropriate manipulation of data.

Data Access and Retention
Authors of work must provide access to the data supporting their findings and once data is published, it should be available for at least 10 years after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism
The work, submitted by authors, must be original and all sources and data used in the research must be cited properly. Until that time, plagiarism in its widest sense is considered unethical and unacceptable: copying or paraphrasing the work of other without attribution.

When others have contributed, which is not the case of authorship, their contribution has to be acknowledged in the appropriate section.

Conflicts of Interest
Authors are required to disclose any relationship that forms a conflict of interest, meaning financial or personal or maybe professional relationships that impact the research or the way the research is interpreted.
