Read How to handle authorship disputes: a guide for new researchers on the COPE website

In general, Expert Journals recommend that authors, who seek to publish private information and images of individuals, should obtain the individual’s explicit consent in order to avoid privacy issues.

When authors submit a manuscript, they should disclose any conflicts of interests, such as financial and personal relationships that might bias their work. To prevent ambiguity, authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist.

Contributors who do not qualify as authors in terms of studying the data or developing the concepts, but have provided support should be listed in an Acknowledgements section.

Every paper that has an influence on the current empirical or theoretical manuscript sent to Expert Journals should be referenced and cited accordingly. Nonetheless, it is acceptable for research to be repeated if it leads to different and new analyses, perspectives or comparisons with existing data.

Please take note that we examine all submitted papers for plagiarism and check for resemblances and similitudes to existing published papers. Articles that denote any form of plagiarism are rejected.

A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Authors who submit manuscripts to Expert Journals warrant the following aspects:

The manuscript reflects original work;
The sent paper should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
The manuscript does not include derogatory, defamatory or unlawful statements;
Authors should appropriately cite and quote any influential publication or work of other authors.
