2. THE REVIEW TASK

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Manuscripts may not be displayed or discussed with others except with permission from the editor.

Standard of Objectivity

Reviews must be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is not allowed. The reviewer must clearly demonstrate the results of the assessment along with supporting arguments.

Source recognition

The reviewer must identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the author. Any statement that the observation, derivation, or argument has been previously reported must be accompanied by a relevant citation. The reviewer should also call the editor's attention about any substantial similarities or overlaps between the manuscript under consideration and any other published papers that have personal knowledge.

Conflict of interest

Unpublished material contained in the manuscript may not be used for the reviewers own research without the written permission of the authors. Specific information and ideas obtained through the review process must be kept confidential and not used for personal purposes. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts that have a conflict of interest due to competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with either the authors, or the companies involved with the manuscripts.

3. AUTHOR'S TASKS

Paper Craft

Appropriate authors should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on paper, and that all co-authors have viewed and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose in their manuscripts any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that may be construed to influence their results or interpretation of the text. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.
