Duties of Authors

(These guidelines are based on Elsevier policy)

Reporting standards

Authors must accurately describe the original research and discuss its significance objectively. Data must be presented appropriately, with sufficient detail and references to be replicated. False or intentionally false statements are unethical. Professional reviews and articles should be accurate and objective, while editorial opinions should be clearly labeled.

Data access and retention

Authors submitting research papers should be prepared to provide raw data for editorial review. Ideally, they should also make this data publicly accessible. Even if public sharing is not possible, authors should retain data for a reasonable period of time after publication. This promotes transparency, reproducibility and credibility of research findings.

Originality and plagiarism

Authors must ensure their work is original. Proper citation is especially important when using someone else's work or words. Plagiarism takes many forms and is unacceptable, from passing off someone else's work as one's own to copying large portions without credit.

Plagiarism check details:

1. Articles submitted by authors must be original manuscripts and not being considered for publication and not published by other journals or publishers. This is done through the release of copyright to the publisher and a statement regarding plagiarism submitted by the author.
2. All submitted works will be checked by anti-plagiarism software. Currently, all articles have been checked for plagiarism using free software provided by IPB University.
3. Articles are reviewed by a peer review team who are competent in their fields as a way to control plagiarism.

Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication

An author should generally not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously is unethical and unacceptable publishing behavior. In general, an author may not submit a previously published paper for consideration to another journal. Publication of some types of articles (e.g. clinical guidelines, translations) in more than one journal may sometimes be justified, provided certain conditions are met. The author and editor of the journal in question must agree to the secondary publication, which must reflect the same data and interpretation of the primary document. Primary references must be cited in secondary publications.

Source acknowledgment

Proper recognition of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that were influential in determining the nature of the work reported. Information obtained privately, such as in conversations, correspondence, or discussions with third parties, may not be used or reported without express and written permission from the source. Information obtained during confidential service, such as refereed manuscripts or grant applications, may not be used without the express written permission of the author of the work involved in this service.

Authorship of the paper

Authors must have made significant contributions to the conception, design, implementation, or interpretation of the research in order to be included. All major contributors must be co-authors. Those involved in certain aspects of the research should be acknowledged. The corresponding author is responsible for the appropriate inclusion of co-authors, their approval of the final paper, and approval to submit it.

Hazards and human or animal subjects

For research involving risky hazards, chemicals, or equipment, authors must state this clearly. When using human or animal subjects, authors must certify compliance with the law and institutional guidelines, including approval of the relevant committee. Consent and privacy rights of human subjects must be recognized.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Authors must declare any financial or significant conflicts of interest that may affect their manuscript. This includes funding sources and potential conflicts such as employment, share ownership and grants. Transparency is key, and disclosure must be done early.

Fundamental errors in published work

Authors should notify journal editors of errors in their published work and collaborate to make corrections. If errors are identified by others, the author must immediately correct or retract the paper and provide proof of its accuracy if necessary.
