Publication Ethics

Here are the deal and ethical standards for all parties involved in scientific publications, such as editor, reviewer, and author.

1. DUTIES OF EDITORS

The editor of the conference is responsible for making decisions on manuscripts that will be published in the conference. The editor can be guided by the editorial board's policy and constrained by the requirements of applicable laws regarding defamation, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors can discuss with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Fair Play

Editors will evaluate the manuscripts in accordance with the intellectual content without regard to race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or political philosophy of the author.

Confidentiality

The Editor and editorial staff should not provide information about a submitted manuscript to someone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Conflict of interest

The materials not published in a submitted manuscript may not be used for the editor's own research without the author's express written consent.

2. DUTIES OF REVIEWER

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

The review process may assist the auditor in making editorial decisions and, through the communication between the editor and the author, will assist the author in improving the manuscript.

Promptness

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality

Each manuscript that has been accepted for review must be treated as confidential documents. The manuscript should not be shown or discussed with others except with permission from the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

The review should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is not allowed. Reviewers must show clearly the results of the assessment along with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that the authors have not cited. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be followed by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper they have personal knowledge.

Conflict of Interest

Unpublished material in the manuscript must be used for the reviewer's research with the author's written permission. Special information and ideas obtained through a review process should be kept confidential and not used for personal purposes. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts with a conflict of interest due to a competitive, collaborative script or other relationships with one of the authors or a company involved with the script.

3. DUTIES OF AUTHOR

Reporting Standard

Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed and an objective discussion of its significance. The main data is to be represented accurately in the script. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references allowing others to research again. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention

The author was asked to provide the raw data associated with the text for the editorial review process and should be prepared to provide public access to such data, if practicable, and should, in any event, be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

An author should not generally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to multiple journals concurrently constitutes unacceptable publishing behavior.

Acknowledgment of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the nature of the reported work.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Fundamental errors in published work

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the conference editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
