Also, the source of financing of the research presented in the paper or the source of financing of the paper itself need to be indicated.
If redundant publication, plagiarism, fabricated data, ghost, guest or gift authorship, an ethical problem with a submitted manuscript, conflict of interest in a published article as well as other malpractice are suspected we follow the COPE flowcharts.
