Open Access Policy

Published papers and scientific contributions are attributed to the author(s), despite the journal is an open access journal, where readers, researchers and institutions have free access to all the published articles in the journal concerning print, copy, and quotation, and sharing links, but article and author(s) need to be cited.

 

Authorship Criteria

Substantive participants in the research work of the manuscript should be listed as co-authors according to the priority of contributions and have joint responsibility for the work, where the corresponding author is responsible for achieving this and the co-authors approval of the final version. For human research (experimental, clinical and pharmaceutical) it is necessary to comply with international agreements as amended by the World Medical Association in Helsinki in October 2013 (http://www.wma.net/). As for research on experimental animals, authors must adhere to animal rights and the Guidelines for the Care and Use of Animals (https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/5140/guide-for-the-care-and-use-of-laboratory-animals).

 

Changes on Manuscript

Changes on the submitted are not allowed ones the acceptance letter received by author(s), unless the editorial board contacted for necessity. Also, no author can be added or deleted.

 

Authorship Disputes
