Conflict of interest policy

The journal uses the “double-blind” peer review system, so that neither authors nor reviewers know the identity of the other party.

In the event that the author is identified, even though their names have been removed from the manuscript, reviewers must declare any conflict of interest and decline the editor's invitation to evaluate a manuscript.

A conflict of interest may occur as a result of:

Animosity toward authors;

Academic or familial closeness:

Belonging to the same university, department, research group, professional network, research project, etc.

Having published articles with the author.

Any other type of connection or professional conflict/proximity.

On the other hand, if the reviewer suspects that an article is a substantial copy of another work, the reviewer must inform the editors. Also, the editors will be informed if there is suspicion that the results of the article are false or fraudulent.
