Center of Medicine is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and to preventing publication malpractice. All parties involved in the publication process (authors, editors, reviewers, publisher) are expected to adhere to these standards. 

 

 

Authors must ensure that manuscripts report original work that has not been published previously, in whole or in part, in any language, and is not under consideration elsewhere. 

 

Authors must properly cite and acknowledge relevant prior work. Plagiarism, data fabrication/falsification, or other forms of unethical behavior are strictly prohibited. 

 

If research involves human or animal subjects, authors must obtain and declare ethical approval from the relevant ethics committee and, where appropriate, state that informed consent was obtained. 

 

Authors must disclose all sources of funding, financial support, and any potential conflicts of interest. 

 

If authors discover a significant error or inaccuracy in their published work, they are obliged to promptly notify the journal and cooperate to publish a correction or retraction. 

 

 

 

Editorial decisions are based solely on the scientific merit, originality, validity, and relevance of submissions — without undue influence from commercial, political or personal interests. 

 

Editors must ensure confidentiality of submitted manuscripts, and protect the identity and privacy of reviewers. 

 

Reviewers must declare any conflict of interest that might bias their judgment; if such conflict exists, they should decline the review. Reviewers must treat the manuscript as confidential, not use information within for their own benefit, and deliver fair, objective, and timely reports. 

 

Editors should provide the reviewers’ comments to authors (while preserving anonymity) and allow authors a fair opportunity to respond. 

 

 

 

The journal retains the right to investigate any allegations of misconduct (e.g. plagiarism, falsification, duplicate submission). If misconduct is confirmed, appropriate actions — including correction, retraction, expression of concern, or banning of authors — may be taken. 

 

All parties (authors, reviewers, readers) are invited to report suspected ethical issues; the editorial board will evaluate any complaint fairly, transparently, and confidentially. 

 

 

 

Authors are encouraged — when possible — to make raw data, materials, methods, code publicly available or accessible on request, to support reproducibility. 

 

A clear statement of authors’ contributions, funding, and conflicts of interest must be included in each published article.
