The publisher remains constrained by requirements such as copyright, infringement, and plagiarism, following the norms prescribed by the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) to support publication ethics. The publisher shall be responsible for keeping all correspondence secret and under no circumstances shall disclose anything that goes against the interests of authors, referees, and editors of the journal. Stakeholders, including the authors, reviewers, and editors in the publication and review process, are supposed to carefully follow the publication ethics and discourage publication malpractices of any kind.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Authors should refrain from misrepresenting research results, which could damage the trust in the journal, the professionalism, and ultimately the entire research community &amp; endeavour. The manuscript should not be submitted to more than one publication for simultaneous consideration. The submitted work should be original and should not have been published elsewhere in any form or language (partially or in full), unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work. (Please provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the concerns about text-recycling (\u2018self-plagiarism\u2019). A single study should not be split up into several parts to increase the quantity of submissions and submitted to various publications or to one publication over time (i.e. \u2018salami-slicing\/publishing\u2019). Concurrent or secondary publication is sometimes justifiable, provided certain conditions are met. Results should be presented clearly, honestly, and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation (including image-based manipulation). Authors should adhere to discipline-specific rules for acquiring, selecting, and processing data. No data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the author\u2019s own (\u2018plagiarism\u2019). Proper acknowledgements to other works must be given (this includes material that is closely copied (near verbatim), summarized, and\/or paraphrased), quotation marks (to indicate words taken from another source) are used for verbatim copying of material, and permissions secured for material that is copyrighted.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">If there is suspicion of misbehaviour or alleged fraud, the Journal and\/or Publisher will carry out an investigation following COPE guidelines.

The informed consent process is one of the central components of the ethical conduct of research with human subjects. The consent process typically includes providing the required information (i.e., elements of informed consent) and the presentation of that information to prospective participants.
