Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected body of knowledge. It reflects the quality of the work of the authors and their supporting institutions. Therefore, it is important to agree upon standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing.

Editors’ Responsibilities

Publication Decisions

The editor is responsible for deciding which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published. Decisions are based on the importance, originality, clarity, and relevance of the manuscript, as well as its validity and contribution to the field. The editor may consult with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Fair Play

Editors evaluate manuscripts based solely on their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, editorial advisors, and the publisher.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor’s own research without the written consent of the author.

Reviewers’ Responsibilities

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and helps authors improve their manuscripts.

Promptness

Reviewers should promptly notify the editor if they are unable to review the manuscript within the required timeframe.

Confidentiality

All manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents.

Standards of Objectivity

Retraction, Correction, and Withdrawal Policy
