Research Integrity

Duplicate Publication

Submissions must be original. Publishing the same work more than once distorts the literature and is not permitted.

Simultaneous submission

Manuscripts must not be under consideration by another journal at the same time. Authors confirm this at submission.

Redundant publication

Republishing substantially overlapping work without disclosure and cross-referencing constitutes redundant publication.

Acceptable secondary publication

Secondary publication (for example, translation) is acceptable only with transparency, editor consent and a clear citation to the primary work.
