Submitted manuscripts that are found to have either fabricated or falsified experimental results, including the manipulation of images, will incur data fabrication and falsification sanctions.

Improper Author Contribution or Attribution
All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript and approved all its claims. It is important to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution, including students and laboratory technicians. These contributions will be stated in the manuscript.

Redundant Publications
Redundant publications involve the inappropriate division of study outcomes into several articles.

Sanctions
In the event that there are documented violations of any of the above mentioned policies in any journal, regardless of whether or not the violations occurred in a journal published by FLSRT, the following sanctions will be applied:

Immediate rejection of the infringing manuscript.
