Policies

The Following Policies apply to all Science Research Publishers (SRP) group journals.

Refer to any additional guidelines established by the journal in cases where it is owned by and published on behalf of a learned society or association. Before submitting your article, please make sure you have carefully read these policies to make sure you have adhered to all the guidelines.

Including the names of the authors on an article is a crucial way to acknowledge those who made a significant contribution to the work. Additionally, it guarantees accountability for those in charge of maintaining the integrity of the content.
In order to credit the organizations that gave their approval, support, or encouragement for the research or scholarly work, you and your co-authors must list all pertinent affiliations.
Both research and non-research articles must reference current, accurate, and verified sources of information (peer-reviewed, as necessary) to substantiate any claims they make.
All authors must declare any competing interests relevant to, or which can be perceived to be relevant to the article.
SRP supports a number of open data initiatives and offers a suite of data-sharing policies for journals.

Peer Review Process

The editorial staff will initially review each article that is submitted, and if any content is missing or the correct files were not uploaded, the manuscript will be returned to the authors. If the editors initially approve the manuscript and if all required contents are listed, the manuscript will be sent out for review.

Initially, the editorial board member handles the paper and may designate the reviewers for the submitted manuscript, or the editorial staff may do so. The editor selects one of the four reviews based on the reviewers' comments (Accept, Reject, Accept with minor revision or Accept with major revision). recommendations.

Peer reviews may be conducted in different ways by journals. Several diverse peer review models are described in our guide to understanding peer review, including:

Single-anonymous peer review
Double-anonymous peer review

The Process for Handling Cases Requiring Corrections, Retractions, and Editorial Expressions of Concern

Our priority is to uphold the academic integrity of all our published or potential publications. To ensure this, we have established a policy for handling cases requiring corrections, retractions, and editorial expressions of concern. In cases where a significant inaccuracy, misleading statement, or distorted report has been published, we will take prompt action to correct the error and ensure it is given due prominence. We will retract the publication in question if we find evidence of fraud or other serious misconduct after conducting a thorough investigation. We are committed to ensuring that all retractions are clearly identified to readers and indexing systems. For more detail, click here
