General Guidelines Reported research must be conducted ethically and responsibly and must comply with all relevant laws. Authors must present results, fairly, without fabricating, falsifying, or manipulating data. Authors must explain their research method clearly and unequivocally so that their findings can be confirmed by others. Authors must comply with the requirements of publication, which are original, not engage in plagiarism or self-plagiarism, and have not been previously published elsewhere. Authors must be collectively responsible for submitted and published works. The sources of funding and the relevant conflicts must be stated Responsible research publication
1. Strength and reliability Reported research must be conducted ethically and responsibly and in accordance with all relevant laws. Reported research must be carried out thoughtfully and carefully. Researchers should use appropriate methods of analysis and data display and presentation (and, if necessary, seek and follow expert advice on this subject). Authors must take collective responsibility for their publications. Researchers should check their publications carefully at every stage to ensure methods and findings are reported accurately.
2. Honesty Researchers must present data honestly without fabricating, falsifying, or manipulating data. Images should not be modified to give misleading results. Researchers must describe the methods they used and present their findings in an unambiguous manner. Researchers must follow applicable reporting guidelines. Publications should provide sufficient detail to allow the experiment to be repeated by other researchers. The research report must be complete. The reviewer should not dismiss any unpleasant, inconsistent, or unexplained findings or results that do not support the authors 'or sponsors' hypotheses or interpretations. Research funders and sponsors cannot veto the publication of findings that do not support their product or position. Researchers should not enter into agreements that allow research sponsors to veto or control the publication of findings (unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as research being closed by the government for security reasons). Authors should immediately notify editors if they find errors in work submitted, received, or published. Authors must work closely with editors in issuing corrections or retractions of articles, if necessary. Authors must refer to other people's work accurately in citations. Authors may not copy references from other publications if they have not read the work cited.
3. Balance New findings must be presented in the context of previous research. The work of others must be presented fairly and naturally. The scientific review and synthesis of previous studies should be complete, balanced and should include findings regardless of whether they support the hypothesis or proposed interpretation. Editorials or Opinions that convey a single point of view or argument must be clearly distinguished from scientific reviews. The limitations of the research should be stated in the publication.
4. Originality Authors must adhere to the publication requirements that the work published is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Submissions may not be submitted simultaneously to more than one journal unless the editor has agreed to a joint publication. If the article is published together, this should be made clear to the reader. Applicable copyright laws and regulations must be followed. Copyright material (eg tables, figures, or quotes) must be reproduced with appropriate permission and acknowledgment. Relevant previous works and publications, by both other authors and the authors themselves, should be appropriately acknowledged and referenced. Where possible, citations should come from the original reference. Data, text, numbers, or ideas originating from other researchers must be referenced correctly, and should not be presented as if they were the author's own. Original words taken directly from another researcher's publication must appear in quotation marks with the correct citation. The author should inform the editor if the findings have been previously published or if multiple reports or analyzes of one dataset are under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors must provide copies of related publications or submitted works to other journals. Multiple publications arising from a research project should be identified and the main publication referred to. Translations and adaptations for different readers should be identified. Sources must be identified, copyright regulations must be respected. When in doubt, authors should seek permission from the original publisher before republishing the work.
5. Transparency All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, procurement of equipment or materials, and other support (such as statisticians or co-authors) should be identified. Authors must disclose the role of the research funder or sponsor (if any) in the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of the research. Authors must disclose relevant financial and non-financial interests and relationships that may be considered likely to influence the interpretation of their findings or that the editor, reviewer, or reader may want to know. This includes relationships with journals, for example, if editors publish their research in their journals. In addition, authors must follow journal requirements and institutional requirements to declare a conflict of interest.
6. Author Contribution Research publication authors must accurately reflect each individual's contribution to the article. Top contributors must be listed as authors, while persons who make less substantial, or purely technical contributions, either to the study or to publication are listed in the award section (acknowledgment). The criteria as author or award (acknowledgment) must be approved at the start of the project. Researchers must ensure that only persons who meet authorship criteria (ie have a substantial contribution to the research work) are rewarded with 'authorship' and that authors with worthy contributions are not anonymized. Journal agencies and editors should prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship. Note: -guest authorship (guest writers) are those who do not meet the criteria as authors but are listed because of seniority, reputation, or influence -Gift authorship are those who do not meet the criteria as authors but are listed for personal support or in exchange for payment -Ghost authorship are those who meet the criteria as an author but are not listed All authors must agree to be named and must approve the versions sent and received for publication. Changes to the list and author order must be approved by all authors, including those who have been removed from the list. The correspondence writer should act as a point of contact between the editor and other authors. He must liaise with other authors and involve them in major decisions about the publication (eg responding to reviewer comments). Authors are not allowed to use misleading acknowledgments/awards (acknowledgments) to imply contributions or endorsements by certain individuals who, in fact, were not involved with the work.
7. Accountability and responsibility All authors must read and understand the articles submitted and must ensure that they are followed the principles set out in these guidelines. In most cases, the authors are expected to take joint responsibility for the integrity of the research and report. However, if a particular author is responsible for only certain aspects of the research and articles, then this should be stated. Authors work closely with editors and publishers to correct them immediately if errors or omissions are found after publication. Authors must respond appropriately to post-publication comments or published correspondence
8. Compliance with peer review and publication regulations Authors must follow the publisher's requirement that work is not submitted to more than one publisher at the same time. Authors should inform editors if they withdraw their article from the review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments. Authors must respond to reviewers' comments in a professional and timely manner. Authors must respect the publisher's request for a press embargo, meaning that they must not allow their findings to be reported to the press if they have been accepted for publication (but not yet published). Authors and their institutions must work together to coordinate media activities (eg press releases and press conferences) related to the publication. Press releases must accurately refer to works and must not contain statements outside of the research results.
9. Reporting who is responsible for research involving human or animal subjects Ethical approval letter and permit or other registration documents must be obtained before the research begins. Details of the letter should be provided in the article, for example, the name of the ethics commission and the licensing authority. If requested by the editor, the author must be able to show evidence of these letters, including proof of consent after the explanation of the research to the subject. Researchers should not publish identifiable individual data without the specific consent of the individual (or his guardian). Researchers must publish all possible research results that contribute to knowledge. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish all clinical trial findings. Publication of failed clinical trials or results that refute the hypothesis may help prevent similar research from being repeated. If the findings from small studies that fail to reach statistical significance are combined, it is possible to obtain a meta-analysis that is statistically significant and possibly useful. Authors should provide research protocols to journal editors when requested (eg for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the study report with the protocol to check that the study was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been ignored. Researchers must follow the relevant clinical trial registration requirements and must include the clinical trial registration number in all publications that emerge from the trial.
