  • Acknowledgement of Sources:
    Reviewers should ensure that any statement or dispute should refer to a relevant citation. Moreover, the originality of the manuscript should be evaluated based on the reviewer’s private knowledge, notifying the overlapping of the content of other articles already published.

    Reviewers should avoid contributions in which they have a conflict of interest, resulting from a connection with the different parties involved in the article publication.
