EDITOR 

The editor has the following responsibilities:

• The editor should acknowledge receipt of submitted manuscripts and ensure an efficient, fair, and timely review process.
• The editor should ensure that submitted manuscripts are processed in a confidential manner, and that no content of the manuscripts will be disclosed to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
• The editor should recuse himself or herself from processing manuscripts if he or she has any conflict of interest with any of the authors or institutions related to the manuscripts.
• The editor has the right to make the final decision on whether to accept or reject a manuscript with reference to the significance, originality, and clarity of the manuscript and its relevance to the journal.
• The editor should not use for his or her own research any part of any data or work reported in submitted and as yet unpublished articles.
• The editor should respond promptly and take reasonable measures when an ethical complaint occurs concerning a submitted manuscript or a published paper, and the editor should immediately contact and consult with the author.

AUTHOR

The author has the following responsibilities:

• The author should not submit concurrent manuscripts (or manuscripts essentially describing the same subject matter) to multiple journals. An author should also not submit any paper previously published anywhere to the journals for consideration.
• The author should honestly gather and interpret his or her research data.
• The author should guarantee that the works he or she has submitted are original. If the author has used work and/or words of others, appropriate citations are required. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
• The author should give due acknowledgement to all of those who have made contributions to the research. Those who have contributed significantly to the research should be listed as coauthors.
• The author should promptly inform the journal editor of any obvious error(s) in his or her published paper and cooperate earnestly with the editor in retraction or correction of the paper. If the editor is notified by any party other than the author that the published paper contains an obvious error, the author should write a retraction or make the correction based on the medium of publication.

• The reviewer should inform the editor and recuse himself or herself from reviewing the manuscript if there is a conflict of interest.
• The reviewer should treat the manuscript in a confidential manner. The manuscript should not be disclosed to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
• The reviewer should perform objectively. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable.
• The reviewer should not use for his or her own research any part of any data or work reported in submitted and as yet unpublished articles.
• The reviewer should immediately notify the editor of any similarities between the manuscript under review and another paper either published or under consideration by another journal. The reviewer should immediately call to the editor's attention a manuscript containing plagiarized material or falsified data.
