Fairness, in all circumstances, the editor evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship or political position of the authors.

Confidentiality Neither the editor nor any member of the editorial staff may release information about a manuscript submitted to the journal to anyone other than the author, referees or prospective referees, editorial advisors, and the publisher, as deemed appropriate.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest Unpublished materials disclosed in a manuscript submitted to the journal should not be used by the editor for their own research without the express written consent of the author.. 

Contribution to editorial decisions, peer review assists the responsible editor and the editorial committee in making editorial decisions and can also help the author improve their work..

Promptly, any selected reviewer who does not feel capable of evaluating the assigned manuscript or who knows that they will not be able to do the evaluation in a timely manner must notify the editor and refrain from the review process.

Confidentiality, every manuscript received for evaluation must be treated as a confidential document. These should not be presented to other people or discussed with them unless expressly authorized by the publisher. 

Objectivity standards, evaluations must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Arbitrators must express their views clearly with supporting arguments. 

Acknowledgment of sources, referees must identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, comment or argument has been previously published must be accompanied by the corresponding citation. The referee must also inform the editor of any substantial similarity or coincidence between the evaluated manuscript and any other publication of which he or she has personal knowledge. 

Dissemination and conflicts of interest, the information and ideas obtained through the peer review system should not be used for personal gain. The referees must not evaluate manuscripts in relation to which they have conflicts of interest as a result of competitive relationships or of another type with the authors linked to the works. 

Originality and plagiarism, the authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works, and that, if they have used the works and/or words of others, these have been duly cited or referred to.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication An author should generally not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time constitutes unethical and unacceptable editorial behavior.

Source Acknowledgment Appropriate acknowledgment of the work of others should always appear in manuscripts submitted to the journal. The authors must consign the publications that have influenced the determination of the nature of the work presented. 

Authorship of the work, authorship should be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the conception and writing of the research presented. There should be no ghost authorship or gift authorship. 

Fundamental Errors in Published Works When an author discovers a material error or inaccuracy in his or her own work published or submitted for review, it is his or her obligation to promptly notify the journal editor and cooperate in correcting the error.
