 Types of articles accepted for publication

 Authorship Criteria 

Authorship credit should be attributed solely to substantial contributions in the following three components:

  1. Concept and design of the study, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data.
  2. Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content.
  3. Final approval of the version to be published.

Merely participating in the acquisition of funding or data collection does not warrant authorship, and general supervision of the research group is insufficient. Each contributor must have actively participated in the work to the extent that they can assume public responsibility for relevant portions of the manuscript's content. The sequence of authors should reflect their respective contributions to the study and manuscript writing. Once submitted, the author order cannot be altered without written consent from all contributors.

The journal stipulates a maximum number of authors for manuscripts based on the type of manuscript, its scope, and the number of institutions involved. Authors should provide a rationale if the number of authors exceeds these limits.

Conflicts of Interest/ Competing Interests

All authors must transparently disclose any and all conflicts of interest related to the publication of the manuscript. This includes conflicts with an institution or product mentioned in the manuscript, as well as those that are integral to the study's outcome. Additionally, authors are required to reveal any conflicts of interest involving products that compete with those discussed in their manuscript. Full disclosure ensures the integrity and credibility of the research and publication process.

Peer review

Peer review serves as a fundamental cornerstone in maintaining the rigor of academic publishing, and our journal is committed to a robust peer review system. This process is meticulously designed to uphold the highest standards of quality, validity, and relevance in the manuscripts that undergo evaluation for potential publication. By subjecting submissions to a thorough assessment by experts in the respective fields, our goal is to preserve the integrity and credibility of the scholarly work that we choose to publish.
