Editorial policy
We propose this policy to manage the journal archiving process. We recommend our authors to read the following statement carefully before submitting the manuscripts:
1. Authorship
Our journal follows the instructions published by International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) for authorship. In this statement, we put the persons, mentioned on the manuscript as authors, as responsible to have contributed in a meaningful and identifiable way to the design, performance, analysis, and reporting of the work and to agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work
The authors should satisfy the following criteria:
Considerable contributions on the research work: adding values on the conception and design; or acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data
Drafting of the article or critical revision for important intellectual content
Final approval of the version to be published
Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the article are appropriately investigated and resolved
Before publication, each author must sign a conflict of interest COI form attesting that he or she fulfills the authorship criteria of the ICMJE Recommendations.
Only one (1) person could be a corresponding author per manuscript, who will manage all correspondence with the Editors. The Journal will indicate when two authors contribute equally to a work. In print, this reads as, “Drs. XXX and YYY contributed equally to this article.” When submitting an equally coauthored paper, authors can indicate dual first or senior authorship with an asterisk on the manuscript title page.
2. Peer Review
The editor manager select for each manuscript editors and reviewers appropriate to the concerned research area. Also authors should propose three (3) active reviewers, outside their institutions, to help in the manuscript’s revision. All accepted manuscripts should pass by one or more rounds of peer reviewing by multi expert reviewers, the acceptance follow the veto strategy. This is due to the high quality that the journal promises for the scientific audience. Adding to experts reviewing we introduce an automatic similarity check by iThenticate software for potential plagiarism, or prior publication detection. The last step of peer reviewing is established by native English editors for potential typos and grammatical errors detection.
3. Financial Associations/Conflicts of Interest
