Publication Ethics

Peer Review Policy

The peer review process of the journal is committed to ensure that the journal publishes only the novel, high-quality and state-of-the-art research manuscripts.

The continuation of previously published research work by the same author will be exceptional and in such cases, authors should be aware of not using the same published content. These will increase the plagiarism of the proposed research work.
  • The same research study should not be spat into different manuscripts by analyzing its different characteristics and submitted in various journals.
  • Results should always be transparent and clear by avoiding any falsified representations and inappropriate data representations and processes.
  • Authors should always make sure that they have obtained specific permission/rights to use certain software/data in the proposed research work.
