Publications Ethics

Ethical standards of publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications, public trust in scientific discoveries, and that people are given credit for their work and ideas.

• Honesty and Integrity:

Researchers and authors must strive for honesty and transparency in their research and writing, and must accurately represent their findings.

• Confidentiality of data:

Confidentiality of data: Researchers should ensure that all data collected from individuals is processed in accordance with ethical principles and that the privacy of participants is protected.

• Authorship and Credit:

Researchers should properly recognize the contributions of others and should not misappropriate credit.

• Plagiarism:

Researchers should not use the work of others without an appropriate assignment, and should avoid plagiarism (repeating one's own work without appropriate recognition).

• Conflict of Interest:

Researchers should disclose any conflicts of interest that may influence the outcome or interpretation of their research.

• Transparency:

Publishers should be transparent about their publishing processes and policies and should provide clear guidance to authors.

• Translation:

If a journal publishes articles in more than one language, it will offer translation services upon request to ensure that all articles are available to a worldwide audience.

• Open Access:

Researchers and publishers are increasingly pushing for open access to research, which means that research should be freely accessible to the public.

• Environmental sustainability:
