Conflict of Interest

Unpublished material in a submitted manuscript should not be used in the research editors themselves without the written consent of the author.

Confidential information or ideas obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider scripts in which they have a competitive, collaborative, or other conflictive interest conflict with any of the authors, companies or institutions associated with the paper.

Provide feedback on Editorial team decisions

Peer review helps editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communications with authors can also assist authors in improving the articles they create.

Speed

Each selected partner who feels qualified to review the manuscript provided by the editor or out of his or her intellectual competence must immediately refuse and not review the process.

Standards of Objectivity

The review process should be done objectively. The writer's personal criticism is inappropriate. Reviewers must provide their views clearly and accompanied by supporting arguments.

Source Statement

Reviewers shall identify other relevant works that have not been quoted by the author. Any statement which results from observations, derivations, or arguments previously reported shall be accompanied by relevant quotations. The best partner or reviewer should also consider the substantial similarity or overlap between the text being considered and other published papers.
