The institution ensures that any advertising and other commercial revenues have no impact or influence on editorial decisions. Apart from that, the institutions also help to communicate with other journal publishers if it is useful and necessary.

The editor is responsible for deciding which articles will be processed and should be published. The validation of these works and their importance to authors and readers should support such a decision. The editors are guided by the journal’s editorial policies and constrained by laws covering libel, copyright, and plagiarism. Editors can discuss with other editors or assessment teams to decide on policies.

Confidentiality
Expert editors and executive editors are prohibited from disclosing any information related to submitted manuscripts to anyone other than the author themselves, senior editor, Bestari, and publishers.

Conflict of interest
All unpublished content written in text is prohibited for use on research of the editors without confirmation from the author.

Objectivity

Confession
PReviewer should identify the relevant article that has not been cited by the authors. Any previously reported observations, derivations, or arguments must be accompanied by relevant citations. Reviewers should also ask editors to pay attention to similarities or overlaps between assessed and published texts.

Originality and Plagiarism
