Paper Submission Ethics

Authors should note that:

• The submission must not have been previously published, nor should it be under consideration for publication elsewhere. It should not be part of a master’s dissertation, nor of a doctoral thesis. We also have a strict policy against plagiarism. All submissions will be checked by online software before being sent to reviewers.
• CV in Arabic and in English/French/Spanish should be attached to the manuscript.
• Authors are required to provide a complete list of references cited in their paper.
• All papers are reviewed by a minimum of two readers.
• It is assumed that all authors have significantly contributed to the submitted paper, if there is a co-author(s) in the submitted manuscript.
• In case of presence of any fraudulent information in an article, its authors will be responsible for providing retractions or corrections of mistakes.
• It is strictly prohibited to publish the same research in more than one journal.
• Changes to authorship: this policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts. Before the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue, requests to add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent to the Journal from the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added or removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation (e-mail) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. Requests that are not sent by the corresponding author will be forwarded by the Journal to the corresponding author, who must follow the procedure as described above. Any requests to add, delete, or rearrange author names in a published article will not be taken into account.
