The editor is responsible for the contents and overall quality of the publication.

If the editors or publisher learn from a third party that a published work contains a material error or inaccuracy, the authors must promptly correct or retract the article or provide the journal editors with evidence of the accuracy of the article.

All the information relative to submitted articles is kept confidential. The reviewers must not be discussed with others except if authorized by the editor.

Authors’ Duties
A submitted manuscript should be original, and the authors ensure that the manuscript has never been published previously. Research data should be represented literally in the article. A manuscript should include adequate detail and references to allow others to replicate the study.
