Fair decision: An editor at all times evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the author's race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, nationality, or political philosophy.

Confidentiality: Editors and editorial staff must not disclose any information about submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the appropriate author, reviewer, prospective reviewer, editorial advisor, and publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosures and conflicts of interest: Unpublished material disclosed in submitted manuscripts may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author.

Reviewer

Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with authors can also assist authors in improving papers.

Punctuality: Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in the manuscript or learns that his prompt review is impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality: Any manuscript accepted for review should be treated as a confidential document. They may not be shown or discussed with anyone else except as permitted by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity: The review must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees must express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Source Recognition: Reviewers must identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the author. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported must be accompanied by a relevant citation. A reviewer should also call the editor's attention to any substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under consideration and other published papers for which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosures and Conflicts of Interest: Information or preferential ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts that have a conflict of interest resulting from a competitive, collaborative, or other relationship or relationship with the author, company, or institution associated with the paper.

Authors

Reporting standards: The author of the original research report must present an accurate report on the work done as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The underlying data must be accurately represented in the paper. A paper must contain sufficient details and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or deliberately inaccurate statements constitute unethical and unacceptable behavior.

Data Access and Retention: Authors are required to provide raw data with respect to the paper for editorial review, and must be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), where possible, and must, in any event, be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that they have written a completely original work, and if the author has used someone else's work and/or words that this has been appropriately cited or cited.

Dual, Redundant or Concurrent Publications: An author must not, in general, publish a manuscript that essentially describes the same research in more than one journal or major publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior.

Source Recognition: Proper recognition of the work of others should always be given. The author must cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Paper Authorship: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All persons who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. If there are others who have participated in a particular substantive aspect of the research project, they must be recognized or listed as contributors. Appropriate authors shall ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have approved its submission for publication.
