DUTIES OF AUTHORS
Standards
The authors of original research papers should present a detailed description of the work performed, and an objective exhibition of its meaning. The underlying data should be represented accurately in the article. A paper should contain sufficient details and references and citations to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical and unacceptable behavior. By submitting his work, the author also must sign the declaration of originality and conflicts of interest.
Information access and retention
Authors are asked to provide information in connection with the article under review, which should be publicly accessible if possible, and should in any case be prepared to provide the information in a reasonable time period after its publication.
Originality and Plagiarism
Authors should ensure that they have written a completely original work, and if they have used work of others, they must be appropriately cited.
Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent publishing
An author should not generally publish in more than one journal or publication manuscripts describing essentially the same issue and argument. The presentation of the same manuscript to more than one journal constitutes unethical behavior and it is unacceptable from an editorial point of view.
Authorship
Authorship should be limited to those who have carried out a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution or interpretation of the development of the work presented. All those who made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain specific aspects of the project, they should be acknowledged or listed as collaborators. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors and collaborators have been appropriately included and listed in the draft, and they all have approved the final version of it and agree to submit for publication.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any conflict of interest that could be significant in the interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be clearly stated.
Errors in published works
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in the publication of his own work, he should urgently notify with the editor of the journal or its the advisors and help them to correct it or, if necessary, to withdraw his publication.
