The Review' Publication Ethics are as follow: 

  1- Ethics for Editors:

 

a) compliance with legal requirements

The editor may be  constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force concerning copyright infringement and plagiarism. 

 

  b) Fairness

  The manuscripts will be evaluated by the editor for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

 

  c) Confidentiality

  No information of a submitted manuscript must be disclosed to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

 

  d) Disclosure for personal advantage

  Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.

 

2- Ethics for Reviewers

  a) Contribution to Decisions

  Peer reviewer assists the editors in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.

 

  b) Promptness

  Any selected reviewer who knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

 

  c) Confidentiality

  Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents.

 

  d) Objectivity

  Reviews should be conducted objectively and no personal criticism of the author is authorized. 

 

  e) Acknowledgement of Sources

  Any statement that an observation or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

  f) Disclosure for personal advantage

  The information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. 

 

   3- Ethics for Authors

 

  a) Reporting standards

  Authors should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

 

 b) Originality and citation

  The authors must ensure that they have submitted entirely original works and when the work or words of others have been used, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

 

  c) Concurrent Publication

  An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

 

  d) Acknowledgement of Sources

  Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

 

  e) Co-authors

  Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. 

  The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

 

  f) Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

  All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

 

  g) Significant errors in published works

  When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own 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.
