Publication Ethics:
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of respected network of knowledge. It depends upon the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific methods and therefore it is necessary to follow the for all the authors, journal editors, publisher, peer-reviewers and the public involved in the publishing act. We follow COPE guidelines to ensure the journal quality and maintain high standards for our journals’ publications.
