Duplicate and redundant publication: Papers that are found to have been published elsewhere will be retracted by the retraction policy of the journal. If authors have used their own previously published study, or study that is currently under review, as the basis for a submitted manuscript, they are required to cite the previous paper and indicate how their submitted manuscript offers novel contributions beyond those of the previous work.
In case the manuscript satisfies the software’s control on plagiarism, and subsequently, it turns out that it has already been published in another journal, it will be retracted from publication by the Retraction policy of the journal.
Redundant publications involve an inappropriate division of study outcomes into several articles and this is not acceptable.

Citation manipulation: Submitted manuscripts that are found to include citations whose primary purpose is to increase the number of citations to a given author’s work, or articles published in a particular journal, will incur journal sanctions.
Data fabrication and falsification: Papers that are found to have either fabricated or falsified results, including the manipulation of images, will be retracted in accordance with the retraction policy of the journal.
Authorship and acknowledgement: All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript and approved all its claims. It is important to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution to the research. 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. Proper acknowledgement of the work of others must always be given. Authors should properly cite sources that have significantly influenced their research and their manuscript.
Fundamental errors in published works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is author’s obligation to promptly notify the Editor of the journal and cooperate with him/her to retract or correct the paper. If a correction is deemed appropriate, the Editors reserve the right to correct the published material and include a dated erratum.
Fair Play: All manuscripts will be reviewed based on intellectual content without regard for age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, country of origin, or political philosophy of the authors.

- Refusal publishing manuscripts.
