Duties of Editors

1. Publication Decisions: The Editor is responsible for deciding which of the submitted articles should be published. The editor is guided by the policies of the editorial board and constrained by legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

2. Fair Play: The editorial team evaluates manuscripts based on their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

3. 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.

4. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.

5. Impartiality: Editors must render decisions independently and objectively, free from commercial or personal bias.

Duties of Reviewers

1. Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents and must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

2. Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate; reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

3. Punctuality: Reviewers should commit the necessary time and effort to complete the review process within the agreed timeframe to maintain output quality.

4. Acknowledgement of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors, as well as flag any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript and any other published paper.

5. Integrity: Information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage.

Duties of Authors

1. Reporting Standards: Authors must present an accurate account of the original research performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance, presented clearly, systematically, and free from data fabrication.

2. Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

3. Acknowledgement of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

4. Multiple or Concurrent Publication: Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

5. Fundamental Errors in Published Works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
