Plagiarism, duplication, false authorship/denied authorship, article slicing, copyright violation, and concealment of conflict of interest are considered unethical behaviors. No article that does not comply with ethical standards will be published. Articles that are found to have ethical violations after being accepted and published will be removed from publication. JAUVEP adopts the ethical standards determined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The ethical standards of COPE (https://publicationethics.org/) are taken as basis in matters of publication and scientific ethics.
