DUTIES OF REVIEWERS
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists the editor in making
editorial decisions, and through the editorial communications with the author
may also assist the author in improving the paper.
Promptness
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a
manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the
editor and excuse himself from the review process.
Confidentiality
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents.
They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the
editor.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively.
Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express
their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Acknowledgment of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published
work that the authors have not cited. Any statement that an observation,
derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by
the appropriate 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.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained
through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal
advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have
conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other
relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or
institutions connected to the papers.
DUTIES OF AUTHORS
Reporting standards
Authors of reports of original research should
present an accurate account of the work performed and 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 are
unacceptable and constitute unethical behavior.
Originality and Plagiarism
The authors should ensure that they have
written entirely original works. If the authors have used the work and/or words
of others, it must be appropriately cited or quoted.
Multiple, Redundant, or 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/proceeding concurrently constitutes unacceptable unethical behavior.
Acknowledgment 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.
Authorship of the Paper
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. Where others have participated in
certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be
acknowledged or listed as contributors. 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 article’s final
version and have agreed to its submission for publication.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscript
any financial or other substantive conflicts 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.
Fundamental 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 editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to
retract or correct the paper.
