Ethical Policy

It is crucial that all research must have been carried out within an appropriate ethical framework. The editorial board will preserve the published ethics and will monitor and safeguard them. If there is suspicion that work has not taken place within an appropriate ethical framework, Editors will follow the Misconduct policy and may reject the manuscript, and/or contact the author(s)’ institution or ethics committee. On rare occasions, if the Editor has serious concerns about the ethics of a study, the manuscript may be rejected on ethical grounds, even if approval from an ethics committee has been obtained.If the authors want to retract the article, the editorial should be informed of their decision. The papers are accepted by the editor not on business or political gain but on intellectual and ethical standards. The Editorial Office will also strictly monitor plagiarism and fraudulent data.
