- All 
								submitted papers will undergo a double-blind 
								review process.
 
- The possible 
								decisions from the review include acceptance or 
								rejection.
 
- Articles may 
								be rejected without review if they are obviously 
								not suitable for publication.
 
- Articles 
								will be rejected if detected for copyright 
								infringement and plagiarism.
 
- The 
								reviewers evaluate manuscripts for their 
								intellectual content without regard to race, 
								gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, 
								ethnic origin, citizenship, or political 
								philosophy of the authors.
 
- The staff 
								must not disclose any information about a 
								submitted manuscript to anyone other than the 
								corresponding author, reviewers, other editorial 
								advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.
 
- Reviews 
								should be conducted objectively. Personal 
								criticism of the author is inappropriate. 
								Referees should express their views clearly with 
								supporting arguments.
 
- Manuscripts 
								received for review are treated as confidential 
								documents and are reviewed by anonymous staff.
 
- A reviewer 
								should also call to the publisher's attention 
								any substantial similarity or overlap between 
								the manuscript under consideration and any other 
								published paper of which they have personal 
								knowledge.
 
- A paper 
								should contain sufficient detail and references 
								to permit others to replicate the work. 
								Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements 
								constitute unethical behavior and are 
								unacceptable.
 
- The authors 
								should ensure that they have written entirely 
								original works, and if the authors have used the 
								work and/or words of others that this has been 
								appropriately cited or quoted.
 
- Submitting 
								the same manuscript to more than one publication 
								concurrently constitutes unethical publishing 
								behavior and is unacceptable.
 
- Authorship 
								should be limited to those who have made a 
								significant contribution to the conception, 
								design, execution, or interpretation of the 
								reported work.
 
- All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
