The editor can discuss with other reviewers or editors in making the decision.

The editor must take responsive steps if there are complaints regarding ethics in the manuscripts that have been received or in the articles that have been published. The editor can contact the scriptwriter and give consideration to the complaint. The editor can also make further communications to related institutions or research institutes. When complaints have been resolved, matters such as publication of corrections, withdrawals, statements of concern, or other notes, need to be considered.

 

ETHICAL STANDARDS FOR REVIEWERS:

The author must ensure that all the work presented is original work, and if the author has used the work and/or words of other people, the author must provide accurate quotations. There are various forms of plagiarism, such as acknowledging someone else's writing as your own, copying or rewriting a substantial part of another person's work without citing the source, and claiming the results of research done by someone else. Self-plagiarism or auto plagiarism is a form of plagiarism. Auto plagiarism is quoting results or sentences from one's own published work without mentioning the source.

Corresponding authors must ensure that all co-authors have been included in the manuscript, and that all co-authors have read and approved the final version of the work and have approved the manuscript's submission for publication.
7. Hazards and Human Subjects. If the manuscript involves procedures or equipment that have unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must identify those items clearly in the manuscript. If the manuscript involves human subjects, the author must ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures are carried out in accordance with the relevant statutory regulations and institutions and the committee within the institution has approved them. Authors must include a statement in the manuscript that consent has been obtained for experiments with human subjects. The right to privacy of human subjects must always be observed.
