Publication Ethics and Conflicts of Interest

Submission of an article is taken as an implicit agreement that this is original work by the authors, free of fabrication or falsification. This or substantively similar work is not under submission to another academic publication, nor will it be submitted elsewhere while under consideration by the EJ. Submitters declare that they fully referenced and described all relevant related work they are aware of.

All co-authors share joint responsibility for content of the research and the submitted manuscript. Other significant contributors to the research are to be acknowledged as such on the manuscript.

Any sources of research funding are to be acknowledged on the manuscript. At the point of submission, each author should reveal any financial or other interests or connections that might raise any question of bias in the work reported or the conclusions. This declaration will be held in confidence by the editors during the review process and after rejection of a manuscript. It will become part of the published article in the case of acceptance.

Please consult the editors in case any questions arise.
