Duplicate Publication
Duplicate publication is prohibited. For example, submitting and publishing the same study in multiple journals, reusing substantial parts of own published work, and only adding a small amount of new data to a previously published article. The duplicate publication will result in paper rejection or retraction.

Misconducts
Authors are expected to comply with the best ethical publication practices. Misconducts such as plagiarism, data fabrication and falsification, and image manipulation will not be tolerated. These practices will result in paper rejection or retraction. Plagiarism is copying text, images, ideas, or data from another source, without appropriate citation. Data fabrication is constructing data that never occurred in real data gathering. Data falsification is manipulating research data to give a false impression. Image manipulation that could lead to misinterpretation of the original image is prohibited. However, it is allowed to technically improve images for readability.
