Information For Authors
Duties of Authors
- Reporting Standards
Authors must prepare manuscripts in accordance with the journal’s requirements and present relevant research data, accurately describing the experimental or research process and presenting clear results in an objective manner. The manuscript must clearly present important research details as well as relevant studies and references to facilitate further research by others. Any illegal or unethical behavior, such as deception, misleading statements, or inaccurate descriptions, is prohibited. - Data Access and Retention
Authors must retain original research or experimental data, provide them to reviewers during the review process, and make them available for public access after publication. - Originality and Plagiarism
Authors must ensure that submitted work is original, and any use of others’ work must be properly cited. Plagiarism or unethical and illegal conduct is prohibited, including appropriating others’ conclusions as one’s own, reproducing essential parts of other works, or presenting others’ work as one’s own. - Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
Authors must not submit the same manuscript to multiple journals simultaneously or publish substantially similar research in more than one publication, as this constitutes unethical publishing behavior. Previously published research should not be submitted to another journal. However, secondary publication is permitted under specific conditions: both the original and secondary journal editors must agree, the content must be consistent with the original publication, and the original work must be properly cited in the references. - Acknowledgment of Sources
Authors must properly acknowledge all sources and identify factors that influence the nature of the research. Unpublished private information, such as conversations, correspondence, or third-party discussions, must not be used or published without explicit written permission from the source. Information obtained through the review of others’ work must not be used or published without the original author’s written consent. - Authorship
All individuals who have made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the study must be listed as co-authors, and participants involved in the research project must be clearly identified. The corresponding author must ensure that all contributing co-authors are listed and that individuals who did not contribute to the work are not listed. The corresponding author must confirm that all co-authors have reviewed the final version of the manuscript and agreed to its submission. - Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects
If the research involves hazardous chemicals, procedures, or equipment, these must be clearly described. If the research involves human or animal subjects, the procedures must be described in detail and comply with relevant laws and regulations. For research involving human subjects, authors must state that informed consent has been obtained and ensure the permanent protection of participants’ privacy. - Conflicts of Interest
Authors must disclose any conflicts of interest that may influence the research results or their interpretation. This includes funding, grants, employment, consultancy, ownership of materials, remuneration, expert testimony fees, patents, or donations. Potential future conflicts of interest must also be disclosed as early as possible. - Errors in Published Work
If authors discover errors or inaccuracies in their work, they must promptly notify the editor and take actions such as correction or retraction. If significant errors are identified by a third party, authors must also provide accurate information to the editor and cooperate in corrective actions.
