Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

To ensure the highest academic standards and editorial transparency, our journal strictly adheres to the criteria set forth by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) regarding manuscript preparation, authorship criteria, and the disclosure of conflicts of interest. Furthermore, we are fully committed to the principles established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to maintain an impartial evaluation process and safeguard scientific integrity. All submissions undergo rigorous plagiarism screening and a double-blind peer-review process, and any suspected ethical misconduct is managed strictly in accordance with COPE’s internationally recognized flowcharts. 

A fundamental pillar of our editorial policy is that scientific advancement in health and veterinary sciences must be achieved with the utmost regard for animal welfare. Consequently, any research involving experimental animals must secure prior approval from an authorized local ethics board. The name of the authorizing institution, along with the approval date and specific decision number, must be explicitly declared within the manuscript. Moreover, to ensure global reliability and data transparency, our journal mandates that authors report their in vivo animal experiments in full compliance with the ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) guidelines.
