  • Sufficient details of the data and methods used in the research should be provided so that other researchers can replicate the work.
  • Authors are encouraged to deposit raw data publicly before manuscript submission. Raw data should be readily available for presentation to referees and journal editors if requested. Authors should retain the raw data for a reasonable period after publication.
  • Simultaneous submission of manuscripts to multiple journals is not allowed.
  • The journal accepts exact translations of previously published work but adheres to specific policies regarding translations.
