Duties of Editors

  1. Fair Decision-Making

    Editors must evaluate manuscripts based solely on academic merit (importance, originality, clarity, and relevance) without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy.

  2. Confidentiality

    Editors must ensure that all information regarding submitted manuscripts is kept confidential and only disclosed to those directly involved in the publication process. This includes a strict prohibition on uploading manuscripts or any part thereof to external generative AI tools, as this violates author confidentiality and proprietary rights.

  3. Conflict of Interest

    Editors must not use unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript for their own research without the author’s written consent.

  4. Handling Misconduct

    Editors must take reasonable steps when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted or published manuscript.

Duties of Reviewers

  1. Contribution to Editorial Decisions

    Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and may also assist authors in improving their manuscripts.

  2. Promptness

    Reviewers must notify the editor promptly if they feel unqualified to review the manuscript or cannot meet the review deadline.

  3. Confidentiality

    Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Reviewers are strictly prohibited from uploading any part of the manuscript to generative AI tools.

  4. Standards of Objectivity

    Reviews should be conducted objectively, and personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. The review must represent the reviewer's own critical assessment, and the use of generative AI to write the review report is not permitted.

  5. Acknowledgment of Sources

    Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors.

  6. Conflict of Interest

    Reviewers should not review manuscripts where they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with the authors or institutions connected to the paper.

Duties of Authors

  1. Originality and Plagiarism

    Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, this must be appropriately cited or quoted. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy and integrity of all content, including any material generated with the assistance of AI tools.

  2. Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

    Authors should not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication.

  3. Acknowledgment of Sources

    Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given.

  4. Authorship of the Paper

    Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. Generative AI or AI-assisted tools cannot be listed as an author as they cannot take responsibility for the content.

  5. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

    All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript.

  6. Fundamental Errors in Published Works

    When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

  7. Disclosure of AI Tool Usage

    Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted tools in their manuscript. A statement detailing which tools were used and for what purpose must be included in a dedicated section before the references.

  8. Use of AI in Figures and Images

    The use of AI tools to create or alter images and figures is not permitted, except when it is a formal part of the research methodology, which must be explicitly described in the methods section.
