- Multiple or concurrent publications: Authors may not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal is unethical and unacceptable behavior. Multiple publications originating from a research project must be clearly identified and must reference the main publication.
- Acknowledgment of Sources: Authors must acknowledge and cite all sources of data used and influential in their work.
- Repeat delivery; the author must inform that the manuscript sent/submitted to the editor is a manuscript that has never been submitted/submitted to another journal/publication publisher.
