  • Ethical Oversight: Editors are responsible for taking corrective actions in case of ethical breaches, including corrections, retractions, or expressions of concern.

Responsibilities of Reviewers

  • Objectivity: Reviews must be conducted objectively, with constructive feedback and no personal criticism.

  • Conflict of Interest: Reviewers must declare any conflicts of interest and decline the review if necessary.
