        • Improper authorship
          • Manipulation of the peer review process

              In cases of suspected or confirmed misconduct, the publisher and the Editorial Committee will take appropriate measures to investigate and resolve the matter.

              Such measures may include:

              • Rejection of manuscripts

                        Editorial Independence

                        The publisher respects the editorial independence of the Editorial Committee.

                        Editorial decisions are made based on academic, artistic, technical, and ethical considerations and must not be influenced by commercial, political, institutional, or personal interests.

                        Corrections and Retractions

                        When significant errors, ethical concerns, or publication misconduct are identified in published articles, the publisher will cooperate with the Editorial Committee to publish corrections, clarifications, expressions of concern, or retractions when appropriate.
