Publication Ethics and Editorial Policies

Authors must submit original work, acknowledge sources, obtain permissions where required and disclose relevant funding or competing interests.

All listed authors should have made a meaningful contribution and approved the submitted version. Duplicate submission, plagiarism, fabricated data and other forms of research misconduct are unacceptable.

Corrections, complaints, conflicts of interest, peer review and publication decisions should be handled transparently under policies formally adopted by the publisher.

Detailed operational policies and peer-review procedures should be finalized and approved before submissions open.
