Authors must ensure that all individuals who have made a significant contribution to the work are appropriately acknowledged and that all listed authors have approved the final manuscript. Any potential conflict of interest that may influence the research or its interpretation must be clearly disclosed.

Editors are responsible for making publication decisions based on the academic merit, originality, and relevance of the manuscript to the journal’s scope. The editorial process is conducted objectively and without discrimination. Editors and editorial staff are required to maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and to avoid conflicts of interest in handling submissions.

Reviewers play a critical role in maintaining the quality of the journal.
