Ethical Compliance

It is also unethical to republish similar research articles (text/figures/tables), as this violates copyrights that have already been transferred to the first journal. Therefore, the author(s) must submit a signed copyright transfer agreement stating the originality of the research work submitted through a manuscript. Authors must also submit only original, new and unpublished research work to the journal. Ethical issues such as plagiarism, fraudulent and duplicate publication, violation of copyrights, authorship, and conflict of interest are serious issues concerning ethical integrity, that must be complied with when submitting a manuscript to this journal for publication.
