The Ethics and Malpractice

To prevent ghostwriting and guest authorship, the editorial staff requires that the input of each author be disclosed, in particular the authorship of the concept, assumptions, methods and relevant passages. The editorial staff must also be informed of the sources from which the publication has been financed. Since ghostwriting and guest authorship are manifestations of the lack of scholarly diligence, the authors of articles are requested to submit statements to the editorial staff concerning the professional and financial input of entities which have contributed to the publication. In cases of suspected or alleged misconduct, we will follow the COPE flowcharts.

Plagiarism policy

Each submission undergoes a plagiarism check using Crossref Similarity Check, powered by iThenticate, prior to the review process. Manuscripts found to contain plagiarism will be rejected.

Archiving

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS and CLOCKSS systems to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration.
