Publication Ethic
Duties of Author
- Authors must provide information about their research process and results to the editor honestly, clearly, and thoroughly and keep their research data stored appropriately and safely. The research must have the principles of scientific work and contain reliable references so that other people can develop the research. The editor does not accept any form of cheating.
- The author must ensure that the manuscript sent/submitted to the editor is original, written by himself, sourced from his own ideas/ideas, and not plagiarizing other people's writings or ideas/ideas. The author is strictly prohibited from changing the name of the cited reference to someone else's name. Authors must also use proper citation/citation procedures.
- The author must inform that the manuscript sent/submitted to the editor is a manuscript that has never been submitted/submitted to other journal publishers. If it is found that the same manuscript is also sent to other publishers, the editor will reject the manuscript sent by the author.
- The author is the person who has made a significant contribution to the conception, design, implementation, and interpretation of the article.
