Your Paper, Your Way
“As implied by the title, writers can present their documents without adhering to rigid formatting requirements. They are only required to provide what is essential for the peer evaluation process. More information may be requested during the revision phase. Only once the paper has been accepted, do we supply the necessary components (language editing) for the publication process and format your document appropriately for galley proof.”
Some considerations authors should remember:
The main manuscript may be submitted as a single MS Word document that includes all figures and tables.
Submissions should remain complete, containing all essential sections (Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials & Methods, Results, Conclusions, Figures, and Tables with Captions).
Main files are compulsory only during the revision phase.
Figures must be of sufficient quality for review.
Tables should be oriented in portrait format.
The language utilized must still meet a moral standard, but the paper will undergo a language review after acceptance.
Ethics in Publications
Statement on Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice The Code of Conduct and Best-Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (Committee on Publication Ethics, 2011) serve as the primary foundation for our publication ethics and publication malpractice statement.
Editorial Board Duties for Publication Decisions
Which of the papers submitted to the journal will be published is up to the editorial board. A paper's significance, uniqueness, clarity, and applicability to the journal's scope are the main factors that the editor-in-chief considers when deciding whether to accept or reject it for publication. Just Play Regardless of the author's race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship, or political ideology, the Editorial Board and reviewers assess manuscripts based solely on their intellectual merit.
Maintaining confidentiality
The Editorial Board is responsible for making sure that all submissions to the journal are kept private while they are being reviewed. The corresponding author, reviewers, prospective reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, if applicable, are the only people to whom the editorial board and editorial staff may divulge information regarding a submitted manuscript. Conflicts of Interest and Disclosure.
Conflicts of Interest and Disclosure
Without the author's express written consent, neither the editor nor the editorial board members may use unpublished materials revealed in a submitted paper for their own
Research. Self-Citation in the Journal
An editor should never require authors to cite their journal as
a condition of acceptance for publication, either explicitly or implicitly. In order to improve the final published research, recommendations for articles to be cited in a paper should be based on their direct relevance to the author's article. As part of the peer review process, editors should point authors to pertinent literature; However, this should never go so far as to give them explicit instructions on which journals to cite.
Participation and Collaboration in Research
When ethical concerns are raised about a submitted manuscript or published paper, an editor should work with the publisher (or society) to take reasonably responsive action. These actions will typically involve getting in touch with the author of the manuscript or paper and giving careful thought to the complaint or claims made. They may also involve sending additional messages to the appropriate organizations and research bodies, and if the complaint is upheld, publishing a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other note, as applicable. Even if unethical publishing practices are discovered years after publication, they must all be investigated.
Decisions Regarding Publication
The journal's editor-in-chief is in charge of selecting which of the submitted articles will be published. The journal's Editorial Board's policies and any applicable laws pertaining to plagiarism, copyright violations, and libel may serve as guidelines for the Editor-in-Chief. When making this choice, the editor-in-chief may consult with other editors or reviewers.
Reviewers' Duties and Their Input into Editorial Choices
In addition to helping the editor and editorial board make editorial decisions, peer review can help the author make their paper better. Timeliness Any chosen referee who believes they are not qualified to review the research presented in a manuscript or who is aware that they will not be able to review it promptly should inform the editor and end the review process.
Reviewers' Duties and Their Input into Editorial
Choices In addition to helping the editor and editorial board make editorial decisions, peer review can help the author make their paper better.
Timeliness
Any chosen referee who believes they are not qualified to review the research presented in a manuscript or who is aware that they will not be able to review it promptly should inform the editor and end the review process.
Maintaining confidentiality
Manuscripts submitted for review must be handled with confidentiality. They must not be shared or discussed with anybody else unless the editor has given permission.
Objectivity Standards
Reviews ought to be carried out impartially. It is improper to criticize the author personally. Referees should clearly state their opinions and provide evidence to back them up.
Recognition of Sources
When pertinent published work mentioned in the paper is not cited in the reference section, reviewers should point that out. They ought to indicate whether or not the corresponding source is cited for any observations or arguments drawn from other publications. Any significant resemblance or overlap between the manuscript being reviewed and any other published work that the reviewers personally know about will be reported to the editor.
Conflict of Interest and Disclosure
Peer-reviewed ideas or privileged information must be kept private and not exploited for selfish gain. Conflicts of interest arising from competitive, cooperative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, businesses, or organizations involved in the papers should not be taken into consideration by reviewers.
Authors' Responsibilities and Reporting Guidelines
Original research report authors should give a truthful description of the work done and an unbiased assessment of its importance. The paper should accurately depict the underlying data. A paper should have enough information and citations to allow for replication by others. It is unacceptable and unethical to make false or intentionally misleading claims.
Access to and Retention of Data
For editorial review, the authors may be asked to submit the study's raw data with the paper. If at all possible, they should be ready to make the data publicly available. As long as participant confidentiality can be maintained and legal rights regarding proprietary data do not prevent their release, authors should, at the very least, guarantee that such data will be available to other qualified professionals for at least ten years following publication (ideally through an institutional or subject-based data repository or other data center).
Plagiarism and Originality
Only completely original works will be submitted by authors, who will properly credit or quote other people's words and/or works. Citations should also be made for publications that have influenced the type of work that has been reported. Plagiarism can take many different forms, such as "passing off" someone else's work as one's own, copying or paraphrasing significant portions of someone else's work without giving credit, or claiming findings from someone else's research. All forms of plagiarism are unacceptable and represent unethical publishing practices.
Several, redundant, or simultaneous publications
Generally speaking, articles that describe nearly identical research shouldn't appear in multiple journals. It is unacceptable and unethical publishing practice to submit the same work to multiple journals. It is not possible to submit manuscripts that have already been published elsewhere as copyrighted content. Furthermore, manuscripts that are being reviewed by the journal should not be submitted again to publications that have copyright.
Recognition of Sources
The work of others must always be properly acknowledged. Publications that have influenced the nature of the reported work should be cited by the authors. Without the source's express, written consent, information obtained in private—for example, through discussions, correspondence, or conversations with third parties—must not be used or reported. It is forbidden to use information acquired while providing confidential services, like reviewing grant applications or manuscripts, without the express written consent of the work's author.
The paper's authors
Only those who significantly contributed to the idea, planning, execution, or interpretation of the reported study should be listed as authors. Co-authors should include everyone who has contributed significantly. The corresponding author makes sure that the author list includes all contributing co-authors and excludes any uninvolved parties. Additionally, the corresponding author will confirm that each co-author has accepted the paper's submission for publication and approved its final draft.
Conflicts of Interest and Disclosure
Any financial or other significant conflicts of interest that might be interpreted as influencing the findings or interpretation of the manuscript should be disclosed by all authors. Every source of funding for the project ought to be revealed.
Basic Mistakes in Published Works
If an author finds a major mistake or inaccuracy in their own published work, they have a duty to inform the journal editor or publisher as soon as possible and work with the editor to have the manuscript retracted or corrected in the form of an erratum.
