The guidelines in publishing a manuscript is as follows:Editor's Role
- The editor of a journal plays a vital role in taking important editorial decisions on all peer-reviewed submitted for publication.
- The editor should adopt editorial policies that encourage maximum transparency of the academic research and record, preclude professional needs from cooperating ethical standards, and always guard the integrity of published record by issuing retractions, and corrections when required.
- The editor should access manuscripts for their scientific quality and intellectual content, free from any sort of biased decisions based on discrimination of race, gender, geographical origin, or religion of the author(s). The editor should evaluate manuscripts objectively based on their academic merit free from any commercial or self-interests.
- The editor should not disclose any information on submitted manuscripts before publication of the manuscript.
- Promoting research rectitude must be preserved. If at any stage the publisher suspects any kind of misconduct in research, it should be investigated promptly in detail with suitable authority; and if any suspicious act of misconduct is observed in the peer review, it should be resolved with diligence.
