Publication Ethics

The journal follows COPE core practices and protects the integrity of the scholarly record.

• Submissions must be original and not under consideration elsewhere.
• Sources must be accurately credited; plagiarism and reference manipulation are prohibited.
• Authorship is limited to genuine contributors approved by all co-authors.
• Funding, conflicts of interest and material AI use must be disclosed.

AI systems cannot be authors. Authors remain fully responsible for accuracy, originality and confidentiality. Allegations are examined fairly and may lead to correction, retraction, rejection or institutional notification.
