Publication Ethics
We are strongly committed to promote the highest ethical publication practices and expects all submitting authors to uphold the high standards of publication ethics. Any case of ethical misconduct is treated very seriously, therefore authors must make sure that the submitted manuscript is original, is not wholly or in part re-publication of the author’s earlier work, and contains no fraudulent data. Authors will submit only entirely original works and will appropriately cite or quote the work of others. Manuscripts which have been published as copyrighted material elsewhere cannot be submitted as this constitute unethical publishing behaviour and it’s unacceptable. The corresponding author will verify that all co-authors have approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
The editor is responsible for deciding which of the papers submitted to the journal will be published. The decision will be based on the paper’s importance, originality and clarity, and the study’s validity and its relevance to the journal’s scope. The peer reviewing process assists the editorial board in making editorial decisions. Both the Assessor and the Author remain anonymous throughout the “double blind” review process. Assessors are selected according to their expertise in their particular fieldworks.
