Duties of Editors

  • Fair Play: The editorial team ensures that submitted manuscripts are evaluated based on their intellectual content without regard to the authors’ race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.
  • Confidentiality: Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher.
  • Publication Decisions: Editors are responsible for deciding which articles should be published based on their academic merit, originality, and alignment with the journal’s scope.
  • Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Editors must not use unpublished information from submitted manuscripts for their own research without the explicit written consent of the authors.
  • Handling of Misconduct: The editorial board will investigate allegations of misconduct, such as plagiarism, data fabrication, and duplicate submission, and take necessary action, including correction, retraction, or reporting the misconduct to relevant authorities.
