• Avoid plagiarism, data manipulation, and redundant publication.

• Properly cite and reference all sources used.

• Accurately reflect the contributions of all listed authors.

• Disclose any conflicts of interest transparently.

Responsibilities of Reviewers:

• Provide scientific, objective, and constructive feedback.

• Maintain the confidentiality of the manuscript during the review process.

• Not use manuscript content for personal advantage.

• Decline to review if there is a conflict of interest.
