Regarding human experiments, the authors have declared that the research process complies with the ethical standards of the Helsinki Declaration and that domestic and foreign committees are leading human experiments. The author should clarify if doubt arises about whether the research has proceeded according to the declaration. In terms of animal experiments, the author has stated that the author has followed domestic and foreign guidelines regarding laboratory animal experiments.

Reporting Standards

The author's report on original research must provide an accurate account of the research conducted and an objective discussion of the study's significance. The underlying data must be presented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain enough detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. False or intentionally inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable behaviour. Review articles and professional publications must also be accurate and objective, and editorial 'opinion' works must be identified.

Data access and retention

Authors may be asked to provide raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should, in any event, be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable period of time after publication.

Originality and plagiarism

Authors must ensure that they have written an entirely original work, and that if the author has used the work and/or words of others, that the work has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism can occur in various forms, ranging from 'disguising' someone else's paper as the author's paper, copying or paraphrasing large portions of someone else's paper (without attribution), to claiming the results of research conducted by someone else. Plagiarism in all its forms is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior. We will check each manuscript using a plagiarism checker to ensure the authenticity of the article. Furthermore, each article submitted must be accompanied by a statement letter from the author stating that the article is free from plagiarism.

Multiple, excessive or simultaneous publication

Generally, an author may not publish manuscripts describing the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behaviour. Generally, an author may not submit a previously published paper for consideration to another journal.

Source acknowledgement

Proper recognition of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the work reported. Information obtained privately, such as in conversations, correspondence, or discussions with third parties, may not be used or reported without express and written permission from the source. Information obtained during confidential services, such as manuscript references or grant applications, may not be used without the author's express written consent of the work involved in this service. Authors must also provide data and details of the work to the editor if there is any suspicion of falsification or falsification of data.

Writing this paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the conception, design, conduct, or interpretation of the research being reported. All parties who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors. If others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author must ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and approved its submission for publication.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that may be established to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest that must be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed as early as possible.

Fundamental errors in published work

When an author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in their published work, they must immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and work with the editor to retract or correct the paper. Suppose the editor or publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains significant errors. In that case, the author is obliged to immediately retract or correct the paper or provide the editor with evidence of the correctness of the original paper.
