Editors work based on ethical principles and standards as follows:

1. Fair Process

Editors evaluate script content based on their expertise regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or the political philosophy of the author.

2. Confidentiality

Editors and editorial staff are not permitted to disclose any information about the manuscript to anyone other than the author, reviewers, other editorial advisors and publishers.

Every text received by a reviewer must be treated as a confidential document. Manuscripts may not be displayed or discussed with others except as permitted by the editor.

3. Avoid Conflict of Interest

Material not published in a submitted text may not be used in the editor's own research without the written consent of the author. Confidential information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers do not have to consider texts where they have a conflict of interest due to competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with one of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the text.

4. Reviewer Duties

Reviewers are tasked with critically examining the substance of scientific research work in accordance with their expertise. Reviewers are tasked with providing input on the decision of the Editorial Team regarding the feasibility of a text to be published. Peer reviews help editors in making editorial decisions and through editorial communication with the author can also help writers to improve the quality of the articles they compile.

5. Accuracy

Every reviewer chosen but feels he is not eligible to review the manuscript provided by the editor or at all beyond his competence must immediately reject and not carry out the review process. If you know other experts who are more suitable, you can recommend an editor to ask the expert as a sustainable partner.
