Responsibility of the Author

We establish the following general rules for the corresponding author’s responsibilities:

Manuscript correction and proofreading
Handling the revisions and re-submission of revised manuscripts up to the acceptance of the manuscripts
Provision of raw data upon which the paper is based, for editorial review and public access to such data whenever possible. If the data is not published with the paper, authors should be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable amount of time after publication
Authors should ensure that they have written an entirely original work, and if they have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited and quoted. Articles found to have plagiarized material will be withdrawn from consideration for publication
Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior, and it is unacceptable. Manuscripts must only be peer reviewed by one journal at a time
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be made. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work
Authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of the manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his or her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the publisher and cooperate with editorial team to correct or retract the article
