Guidelines for Editor-in-chief

Responsibilities toward the authors who provide the content of the journals, the peer reviewers who comment on the appropriate manuscripts for publication, the journal’s readers and the scientific community, the owners/publishers of the journals.

• Constructive editorial decisions making with reasonable speed and clear communication
• To avoid the possibility of editors delaying a manuscript for suspect reasons vigilantly
• Establishing clear guidelines for authors regarding acceptable practices for sharing experimental materials and information, particularly those required to replicate the research, before and after publication
