Publication Ethics
For any publisher, maintaining the right ethics is important. It not only helps in maintaining the quality of the journals available on the website but also in building a valued reputation. We also believe in maintaining strict ethics and assure high-quality journals on our website. For us authors are the top priority, we coordinate with them throughout the peer-review process in order to publish high-class articles in respective journals. We follow the regulations of Committee on Publication Ethics. We honor the code of conduct.
Anything, which gets published by us, needs to pass the peer-review session. Our peer-review session includes quality and data authentication checking by the editors, reviewing and commenting by the reviewers and the final polishing of the manuscript to turn it into an article by the editorial managing team. We only publish the manuscript that matches the academic standard. The research manuscript needs to be approved by our team of editors after rigorous peer-review process.
Each submission will get reviewed by a team of researchers. These people will remain unknown to the authors. While our team of editors works independently, we might time to time seek advice of experts in respective fields, in order to validate some data or information.
We publish only original works. This is why any manuscript guilty of being plagiarized will not pass the editorial test. Each manuscript submitted to us needs to be completely original and must not be published anywhere or must not be under review in any other publisher.
In case, the manuscript submitted by the author is found to be published somewhere else or is under review, the manuscript will face duplicate publication sanction. This is why the authors are requested to be honest about submission. If an author is trying to publish work that have been published before, or is under review currently, they need to cite the effectiveness of the contribution beyond the previous work.
In case submitted manuscript includes citation from some other author’s work for the purpose of increasing the citation to the work, the manuscript will be given citation manipulation authorization.
Data fabrication is a serious offense. In case the submitted manuscript includes false data or fabricated image, the manuscript will suffer from data fabrication charge.
It is essential that the author includes the names of the people who have made contribution to the manuscript, this might include laboratory technicians or students or researchers.
Conflict of interest occurs when the irrelevant issues or beliefs are included in a particular manuscript. In case, the author suspects any conflict of interest, the author should declare the possibility before submission. However, the declaration would not restrict the work from getting reviewed or published. The conflict could be financial, academic, personal, ideological, intellectual property related or affiliation related.
Authors need to declare the interest in the conflict of interest. The author also needs to explain why the conflict of interest should take place. In addition, the authors must also declare the funding that might influence the work.
The editors working with us will refuse to accept a work if the editor shares a relationship with the author, if the editor has an interest in the financial matter, if the editor shares any affiliation with the author and if the editor has a current publication or submission with some other author.
