Ethic rules
Reviews are constituent parts when we come to ensuring the quality of published research.
A reviewer who does not feel competent enough to review the delivered research or a reviewer who knows that he/she cannot review the paper fast enough, should contact an editor and withdraw from the act of reviewing.
All submissions are confidential. They must not be discussed with the third party without authorization of an editor.
Reviews must be objective. Personal criticism of an author is not allowed. Reviewers should express their opinion in a clear manner followed by strong arguments.
Reviewers should also warn the editor if they recognize significant resemblance to any other familiar published researches.
Unpublished material which is delivered must not be used for the purpose of a reviewer’s personal research without the explicit approval of an author. Information or ideas which are available to a reviewer have to be considered as highly confidential and must not be used for personal intentions. Reviewers must retreat from the process of reviewing the paper in the case of a conflict of interests such as competitiveness, bonds with authors, legal entities or institutions.
