RESPONSIBILITIES OF AUTHORS

1. Reporting Standards

Authors of original research articles must provide an honest and accurate description of their work, including a fair and objective discussion of its significance. The data presented should be precise and sufficiently detailed to allow replication. Any form of falsification or deliberately misleading statements constitutes unethical behavior and is unacceptable.

Opinion pieces must be clearly marked as such, and all submitted work should be accurate, transparent, and objective.

2. Data Access and Retention

Authors may be asked to provide raw data during the editorial review process and should be prepared to make the data publicly available when possible. Data should also be retained for a reasonable period after publication.

3. Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that submitted manuscripts are entirely original. Any use of others’ work or ideas must be properly cited. Plagiarism—including copying, paraphrasing significant parts of another work without attribution, or presenting others’ findings as one's own—is unethical and will not be tolerated.

4. Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

Authors must not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time or republish previously published material. Simultaneous or redundant publication is unethical. In rare cases (e.g., translations or clinical guidelines), republication may be acceptable if there is transparency, proper citation of the original, and mutual consent from both journals.

5. Acknowledgment of Sources

Authors must acknowledge the work of others where relevant. All publications that significantly contributed to the reported research should be cited. Private communications or information obtained through peer review or grant review should not be used without explicit written permission.

6. Authorship

Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made substantial contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study. All contributors meeting these criteria should be listed as co-authors, while others should be acknowledged appropriately. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors approve the final version of the manuscript and agree to its submission.

If the work involves any potentially hazardous chemicals, procedures, or equipment, these must be clearly disclosed in the manuscript.

7. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Authors must disclose any financial or personal relationships that could influence their research or interpretation. Examples include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patents, or grants. All sources of funding must also be disclosed.

8. Fundamental Errors in Published Works

When authors discover a significant error or inaccuracy in their published article, they are obligated to notify the journal editor promptly and cooperate in correcting or retracting the paper. If the editor is informed by a third party, the authors must respond appropriately.


RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EDITORIAL BOARD

1. Publication Decisions

The editor-in-chief holds full responsibility for deciding which articles will be published. This decision must be based on the article’s scientific merit, originality, and relevance, while also complying with legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors may consult with reviewers or editorial board members when making decisions.

2. Fairness

Editors must evaluate manuscripts solely based on intellectual content, without discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnicity, nationality, or political philosophy.

3. Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff must maintain strict confidentiality concerning submitted manuscripts and only share information with those directly involved in the publication process (e.g., corresponding authors, reviewers, and the publisher).

4. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Editors must not use unpublished materials from submitted manuscripts for their own research without the author's written consent. Editors should also recuse themselves from handling any manuscript in which they have a conflict of interest due to personal, academic, or financial relationships.

5. Investigation and Cooperation

Editors must take all allegations of ethical misconduct seriously. In collaboration with the publisher, they should investigate thoroughly and, if necessary, issue corrections, retractions, or statements of concern.


RESPONSIBILITIES OF REVIEWERS

1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer reviewers assist editors in making publication decisions and help authors improve their manuscripts. Peer review is a vital element of scholarly communication and ensures research integrity.

2. Timeliness

Reviewers who feel unqualified to review a submission or unable to meet the deadline should notify the editor immediately and withdraw from the review process.

3. Confidentiality

All manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential. They should not be shown or discussed with others unless approved by the editor.

4. Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted impartially and without personal bias. Reviewers must provide clear, constructive, and well-argued feedback.

5. Acknowledgment of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. If similarities or overlap with other publications are detected, the editor must be informed.

6. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Reviewers must not use unpublished information from a manuscript for personal advantage. They should avoid reviewing manuscripts where conflicts of interest exist due to personal or professional relationships with the authors or affiliated institutions.
