Publishing Ethics

This policy has been designed based on the guidelines and recommendations by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), thus it is our obligation to ensure that the quality of works we publish meet the standards. Our focus as an academic publisher is to preserve the accuracy, integrity, and completeness of the scholarly record by ensuring that we promote honest and most-accurate publishing through stringent policies. Our team of experienced editors, reviewers, and advisors have sworn to respect and uphold these guidelines. 

Authorship terms and agreement

• All named authors sign a statement of authorship as a condition of publication. Such a statement should ideally include:
• A declaration that that person, and all other named authors, fulfill the authorship criteria laid out in the journal’s authorship policy
• A declaration that no other individuals deserving of authorship have been omitted
• A statement of what exactly that person contributed to the paper (journals should also consider publishing this information)
• A declaration that a person takes responsibility for the integrity of the paper

Guidelines on solving authorship disputes

• The position of the author in a paper should be decided upon by the authors before submitting the paper for consideration for publishing. We shall consider publishing the paper in the order in which the names of the authors are received.
• Additional authors cannot be added after submission.
• Authors cannot be replaced in cases of sickness, insanity, or death.
