Publishing ethics

In our journal, we maintain high-quality standards through a very strict peer-review process. This review process is made sure by strict ethical policies and professional codes. We select the experts from the fields of the submitted paper, who are well known for their original and innovative contributions. This process helps us to select the best papers with fascinating and interesting applications. We take serious notice of the violation of these professional guidelines. All the submitted papers must be original and are not being considered in other journals and conferences proceeding etc.

​Plagiarism
We screen all the submitted manuscripts for plagiarism using Turnitin and iThenticate technology. We make sure that the submitted papers contain original materials. If any paper contains material copied from other source is subject to plagiarism sanctions.


Data Fabrication and Falsification

We try to make sure that the data and experiments are not fabricated and falsified. If found so, these papers are rejected without any further action and sanctions are imposed.  We take these facts very seriously.

Citation Manipulation

We do not encourage citing the papers for the sake of increasing the citation. At the submission time, we ask the authors to make sure of this fact. We either send the paper back to authors or reject the paper right away.

Duplicate Submission

We make sure that all the papers are not being published elsewhere. If found so, we take strict action against these authors under the duplication sanction and these papers are withdrawn immediately from the website of the journals.

Improper Author Contribution or Attribution

In our journals, we make ask the authors to explain the percentage of their contributions in the submitted manuscripts. These take care of the improper author contribution.
