Authors' Duties

Reporting Standards
The authors of the original article should accurately present the procedures and results of the work performed and then objectively discuss the importance of the work. The manuscript should contain sufficient details and references so that other researchers can benefit from it. Review articles should be accurate, objective and comprehensive, with pieces of editorial 'opinion' or perspective clearly stated. Fraud or knowingly false statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention
Authors may be asked to provide raw data from their work with the manuscript for editorial review and, if applicable, should be prepared to make the data publicly available. In any event, authors should ensure that this data is accessible to other authorized professionals (preferably through an institutional or subject-based repository or other data center) at least 10 years after publication, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be maintained. Legal rights regarding proprietary data do not prevent publication.

Authenticity and plagiarism

Authors should ensure that they write and submit only completely original works, and if they have used the works and/or statements of others, this should be indicated with appropriate attribution. The publications that were influential in determining the quality of the work reported in the article should also be mentioned. Plagiarism takes many forms, from writing someone else's publication as the author's to copying (without attribution) important parts of someone else's work, or in other words, getting the result of research conducted by others. Any form of plagiarism constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Multiple, duplicate, redundant, or simultaneous references or posts
The same study should not be published in more than one journal or primary publication. Therefore, authors should not submit an article published in another journal for consideration. Submitting an article to more than one journal at the same time is unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Sometimes it may be necessary for some articles (such as clinical guidelines or translations) to be published in more than one journal, provided certain conditions are met. Authors and editors of the respective journals should accept the secondary publication, which should reflect the same data and interpretation as the main document. The primary reference should be cited in the secondary publication.

Author of the Article
Only persons who meet the criteria for authorship and can take public responsibility for the content or article should be listed as authors in the text.

(i) Significant contributions must be made to the design, implementation, data collection, or analysis or interpretation of the study;

(ii) Must have prepared the article or critically revised it for significant intellectual content,

(iii) I have seen and approved the final version of the article and have accepted its submission for publication.

All authors who have made significant contributions to the work reported in the manuscript (such as technical assistance, writing and editing assistance, and general support) but do not meet the authorship criteria should not be listed as authors. In addition, all co-authors must certify that they have seen and approved the final version of the article and agree to be published.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Authors should, at the earliest possible stage (usually by submitting a disclosure form at the time of submission and adding a statement in the text), disclose any conflicts of interest that could be interpreted to affect the results or comments of the article. Examples of potential conflicts of interest that should be disclosed include honorary, educational grants or other funding, participation in financial speakers' offices, membership, employment, consulting, share ownership or other equity interests, and financial assets such as paid expert testimony or patents. In addition to these regulations, personal or professional relationships, members, knowledge or beliefs on the subject, or materials discussed in the manuscript are also considered conflicts of interest in non-financial matters.

Recognition of Resources
Authors should declare that they have properly reviewed the work of others and should also cite work that has inspired their own work. Privately obtained information (interviews, correspondence, or interviews with third parties) should not be used or reported without express and written permission from the person or sources concerned. Authors should not use information obtained during the provision of open/confidential services unless they obtain the express written consent of the persons involved in these services.
